For the Apple Filling:
- 2 medium-sized zucchinis, peeled, seeded, and cut into small chunks (to mimic apple texture)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup powdered erythritol or another keto-friendly sweetener
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum (optional, for thickening)
- A pinch of salt
Instructions:
For the Crust and Topping:
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare the Crust:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, powdered erythritol, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
- Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients and use a pastry cutter or fork to cut the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add Wet Ingredients:
- Stir in the egg and vanilla extract until the dough comes together.
- Divide the Dough:
- Divide the dough in half. Press one half into the bottom of an 8×8-inch (20×20 cm) baking dish to form the crust.

For the Apple Filling:
- Prepare the Zucchini:
- In a bowl, toss the peeled and seeded zucchini chunks with lemon juice. This helps them mimic the tartness of apples.
- Cook the Filling:
- In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the zucchini chunks, powdered erythritol, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and a pinch of salt.
- Cook the mixture for about 5-7 minutes, or until the zucchini has softened and resembles cooked apple slices. Stir in xanthan gum (if using) to thicken the filling.
- Remove from heat.
Assembly:
- Assemble the Bars:
- Spread the cooked zucchini filling evenly over the baked crust in the baking dish.
- Crumble Topping:
- Crumble the remaining dough evenly over the filling to create a topping.
- Bake Again:
- Return the baking dish to the oven and bake for another 20-25 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown.
- Cool and Slice:
- Let the bars cool in the dish for about 30 minutes, then refrigerate until fully set.
- Serve:
- Once chilled, slice your Keto Flaky Apple Pie Bars into squares and serve. Enjoy!
