Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, and granulated erythritol.
Melt the unsalted butter and add it to the dry ingredients along with the egg and vanilla extract. Mix until a dough forms.
Divide the dough into two parts, with one part slightly larger. Wrap both pieces in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes.
While the dough chills, prepare the filling. In a large saucepan, combine the peeled and sliced zucchini with lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, liquid stevia, cinnamon, nutmeg, and xanthan gum.
Cook the zucchini mixture over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the zucchini is tender and the mixture thickens, about 10-15 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the butter and apple pie spice extract.
Roll out the larger piece of dough between two pieces of parchment paper until it is about ¼ inch thick. Place it into the pie dish, pressing it gently against the sides and bottom.
Pour the zucchini filling into the prepared crust.
Roll out the second piece of dough and carefully place it over the filling. Seal the edges by pressing the top and bottom crusts together, and make small slits on top to allow steam to escape.
Place the pie on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
Allow the pie to cool slightly before serving for best texture and flavor.
