Ingredients

• 4 pieces (peeled, seeded, and sliced into thin half-moons) Large zucchini
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 cup Sugar-free maple syrup
• 1.5 teaspoons Cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground ginger
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Almond flour
• 0.5 cup Chopped pecans or walnuts
• 2 tablespoons Coconut flour
• 0.5 cup Oats (certified gluten-free)
• 0.25 cup (melted) Butter or coconut oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9-inch baking dish with a little butter or coconut oil.

Step 2

Peel, seed, and slice the zucchini into thin half-moons to resemble apple slices.

Step 3

In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine the sliced zucchini, lemon juice, sugar-free maple syrup, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, nutmeg, and ground ginger.

Step 4

Cook the zucchini for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it softens and starts to resemble the texture of cooked apples.

Step 5

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Pour the zucchini mixture into the prepared baking dish.

Step 6

In a medium mixing bowl, make the topping by combining almond flour, chopped pecans or walnuts, coconut flour, oats, the remaining 0.5 teaspoons of cinnamon, melted butter or coconut oil, and salt.

Step 7

Mix the topping ingredients well until you achieve a crumbly consistency.

Step 8

Sprinkle the topping evenly over the zucchini mixture in the baking dish.

Step 9

Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and crisp.

Step 10

Allow the mock apple crisp to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Optionally, enjoy with a dollop of sugar-free whipped cream or a scoop of keto-friendly ice cream.
