Keto Apple Crisp

zucchini cobbler on white plate with ice cream on top

There are zero apples in this keto dessert, but it tastes just like an apple crisp, thanks to the zucchini! We serve this up with a scoop of low carb vanilla ice cream.

Ingredients

For the filling:

  • 4 cups chopped, seeded, peeled zucchini
  • 1/3 cup lemon juice
  • ½ cup sweetener
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

For the topping:

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. 
  2. In a large oven safe skillet, such as cast iron, cook the zucchini and lemon juice over medium heat until the zucchini has softened, about 20 minutes. Drain excess liquid from the skillet, if needed.
  3. Stir in the sweetener, cinnamon, and nutmeg to coat the zucchini.
  4. Add the almond flour, melted butter, sweetener, and cinnamon to a small bowl and stir well to form moist crumbs.
  5. Sprinkle the topping over the zucchini.
  6. Bake for 20 minutes.
  7. Let set for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Sweetener: We prefer Lakanto Golden Monkfruit (linked above) but the classic variety also works great.

To thicken: If you'd like your cobbler to have less liquid, sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum over the chopped zucchini at the start of step 2.
