Perfect for keto apple dessert recipes, low-carb crumbles, and healthy fall-inspired desserts.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a medium-sized baking dish.
Peel and core the zucchinis, then chop them into small pieces resembling apple chunks.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped zucchini with lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and half of the erythritol sweetener. Mix well to coat the zucchini.
Transfer the zucchini mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
In the same mixing bowl, combine almond flour, unsweetened shredded coconut, chopped pecans, melted butter, remaining erythritol, and vanilla extract to make the crumble topping.
Mix the topping ingredients together until they are well-combined and crumbly.
Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the zucchini layer in the baking dish.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the zucchini is tender.
Remove the Keto Apple Crunch from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your keto-friendly dessert!
