Mock Apple Crisp (Gluten & Sugar Free) image

When you have an abundance of zucchini, this really tastes like apple pie. Plus, it's healthier than other "mock apple pies" that are just crackers. The crust is gluten freeand the recipe is sugar free (stevia).

Time 1h5m

Yield 9 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 -5 cups zucchini, peeled and sliced
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon stevia powder
1 tablespoon vegetable glycerin (optional)
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1 1/2 cups buckwheat flour (or use another gluten free flour or combo)
1/2 teaspoon stevia powder
4 1/2 teaspoons arrowroot
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup cold butter (12 T) or 3/4 cup margarine, cut up (12 T)
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°.
  • Combine crust ingredients in a medium bowl, cutting in the margarine until mixture resembles coarse crumbs; add vanilla and mix gently.
  • Press 1/2 of dough evenly on bottom and 1/4-inch up sides of an 8x8-inch glass baking dish.
  • Bake until slightly browned, about 10 minutes. Cool on wire rack.
  • Meanwhile, combine zucchini and lemon juice in a pot and simmer until just barely cooked, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat, add stevia, cinnamon and nutmeg and let cool.
  • Spoon cooled zucchini mixture over crust and sprinkle the remaining crust mixture on top.
  • Bake for 45 minutes.

I wouldn't recommend this recipe. The crisp was bland and the topping was too thick.

The crisp was a little dry, but I think I could fix that by adding more apples or using a different type of sweetener.

The crisp was a little too sweet for my taste, but I think I could fix that by using less sweetener next time.
