Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Almond flour
- 0.25 cup Coconut flour
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoons Xanthan gum
- 0.25 cup Granulated erythritol
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 2 medium Chayote squash
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 tablespoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg
- 10 drops Liquid stevia
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a muffin tin.
In a medium bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, granular erythritol, xanthan gum, and cinnamon. Mix well.
Melt the butter and add it to the dry ingredients. Mix until crumbly.
Add the beaten egg into the flour mixture and mix until dough forms.
Divide the dough into six equal portions and press each portion into the bottom and up the sides of the muffin cups, creating a mini crust. Set aside.
Peel and core the chayote squash. Chop into small pieces resembling apple chunks.
In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter and add the chayote pieces.
Sprinkle ground cinnamon and nutmeg over the chayote, stirring frequently until the pieces soften, about 5 minutes.
Add liquid stevia and lemon juice to the skillet, continue to stir until well combined and chayote is tender, about another 5 minutes.
Remove from heat and let the filling cool slightly.
Spoon the chayote filling evenly into the prepared crusts.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until the crusts are golden brown.
Allow the mini pies to cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before carefully removing them.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your Keto Mini Apple Pies!
