Zucchini "Mock Apple" Crisp
Our garden is producing a massive amount of zucchini this year so I've been looking for creative ways to use it up. I've also given a bunch to friends, family and neighbors.
I found this amazing recipe for mock apple crisp. I followed the original recipe and it was delicious but I'm going to make a few "tweaks" next time.
Mock Apple Crisp Recipe
"tweaked" recipe from lowcarbyum
Ingredients:
-Filling:
6 cups zucchini, peeled & sliced
3 tablespoons lemon juice
2/3 cup low-carb sweetener (I used pyure)
*Next time I'll use 1/3 cup because it was super sweet*
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
*Next time I'll use 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg because it was a bit strong*
-Topping:
1/2 cup pecans, chopped
1/2 cup almond flour
1/4 cup coconut flour
1/4 cup low-carb sweetener (I used pyure)
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup butter
TIPS:
-I don't eat a lot of keto sweeteners so I'm going to cut out a bit next time I make this.
-You can probably use any zucchini but I happen to be growing Ronde De Nice so it worked really well
-Scoop out a bit of the center of the squash. This is the part that gets more mushy and watery
If you decide to make this recipe, please stop back by and let me know what you think!

Love the simple recipes. We are especially interested in kids portions they can make within an hour long garden class. They grow food and make a recipe once a month. Thank you
Hi Mary!
My Gram used to make mock apple pie…although she used all the sugar and flour. I need to reduce my carbs so this looks like a great recipe to try! Found this recipe on your hop Tuesdays with a Twist and would love to have you share this on Farm Fresh Tuesdays!
