Cuisine: Keto
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 2 chayote squashes, peeled and sliced
- 1/4 cup erythritol
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 1/4 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure that your Keto Apple Crumble Chayote Squash bakes evenly and achieves a nice golden color.
- Prepare the chayote squashes by peeling them. After peeling, slice them into thin, even pieces to ensure they cook uniformly.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced chayote squashes with 1/4 cup of erythritol and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. Toss the mixture until the chayote is well coated with the sweetener and spice.
- Transfer the chayote mixture into a greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly. This will be the base layer of your crumble.
- In another bowl, prepare the crumble topping. Combine 1/2 cup of almond flour, 1/4 cup of melted butter, and 1/4 cup of chopped nuts (if using). Mix until the ingredients are well combined and form a crumbly texture.
- Evenly sprinkle the crumble topping over the chayote mixture in the baking dish. Make sure to cover the chayote slices completely for a delicious, crunchy topping.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the chayote is tender.
- Once baked, remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
- Serve warm, and enjoy your Keto Apple Crumble Chayote Squash as a delightful low-carb dessert or snack!
Tips
- Choose firm, fresh chayote squashes for the best texture and flavor.
- Pat the chayote slices dry before mixing with sweetener to prevent excess moisture.
- Use a high-quality almond flour for the crumble to ensure a crispy, golden topping.
- For extra crunch, toast your chopped nuts before adding them to the crumble mixture.
- If you prefer a sweeter dessert, adjust the erythritol to taste.
- Let the crumble rest for 5-10 minutes after baking to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Serve with a dollop of sugar-free whipped cream or a scoop of keto-friendly vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent experience.
