Notes

  • Nutrition: Each of the 18 pieces contains 4.3 NET carbs.
  • Halving the Recipe: You can halve the ingredients for an 8x8 pan, yielding 9 servings.
  • Low-Carb Alternative: For an even lower carb count, replace apples with jicama, following the method from the Keto Apple Crisp recipe.
  • Brown Sugar Sweetener: Create your own by mixing 1 teaspoon of molasses with 1 cup of a 1:1 sweetener or ½ cup of a 2:1 sweetener.
  • Substitutions: Substitute sour cream with Greek yogurt or coconut cream. Use any firm apple variety of your choice.
  • Reheating: Warm slices in the microwave, starting with 10-second intervals.
  • Freezing: Freeze in a sealed container for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving.
  • Sweetener Notes: The recipe uses a blend of xylitol, erythritol, and stevia, which is twice as sweet as sugar. Adjustments for using Swerve, Lakanto Monk Fruit, Pyure, or Trim Healthy Mama Super Sweet are provided.
