Gooey Keto Apple Crisp: Easy 4.8g Net Carb Dessert
Six batches. Three soggy disasters. One moment where my mother-in-law asked for the recipe and I almost cried.
The secret to a keto apple crisp that doesn't taste like a diet dessert isn't chayote squash (good luck finding that at Kroger). It's not xanthan gum either — that stuff turns the filling slimy.
It's two things: salt your zucchini for 15 minutes and squeeze until it feels like a damp washcloth, then use unflavored gelatin instead of xanthan gum. The gelatin sets into a silky, spoon-coating gel that melts at body temperature. No slime. No soup.
4.8g net carbs. 35 minutes. A topping that actually cracks when you break through it.
The full recipe with the exact visual cues that tell you when it's done — not "bake until golden" nonsense — is on the blog.
