Ingredients
  
For the Filling:
  • 6 tablespoons butter, salted
  • ½ medium green apple, cut into ½-inch cubes
  • 3 medium zucchini, peeled and cut into ½-inch cubes
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon xanthan gum
  • 2 tablespoons golden monk fruit
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon, ground
  • 1 teaspoon nutmeg, ground
For the Topping:
Instructions
 
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (176°C). Then, melt butter in an oven-safe pan and add the apples and zucchini. Cook on medium heat for 7-8 minutes.
  • Stir in the vanilla extract, xanthan gum, monk fruit, cinnamon, and nutmeg and simmer for 3 minutes.
  • Combine almond flour, hemp hearts, almonds, shredded coconut, and monk fruit in a mixing bowl.
  • Transfer the filling to a baking dish or bake it in the oven-safe pan. Then, crumble the topping over the top.
  • Cut the COLD butter into tabs and cover the mixture.
  • Bake for 20-30 minutes until the apple and zucchini mixture is bubbling and the topping is golden brown. Set it aside to cool for 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
Expert Tips:
  • Cut the zucchini and apple the same size to ensure they cook at the same rate; you can leave the peels for added fiber or remove them if you prefer.
  • Zucchinis release water as they cook, so there is no need for additional fluid.
  • All ovens bake differently, so remove the apple crisp once the topping is light and golden brown.
  • To lower the carb content, use more zucchini or another squash in place of apple.
