If you love the taste of apples and crave apple pie, this is the answer to your low carb prayers. It’s easy to make and checks in with about 8 net carbs per serving. You can easily substitute in peaches for the apples to make a peach crumble. My recipe makes 2 individual pies. If you don’t have enough carbs to spare for a whole serving, then eat only half and save the rest for another day.
1/2 cup sliced apples
1 teaspoon Brown Sugar Splenda Blend
1 tablespoon Sugar-free Gingerbread Syrup or Maple Syrup
1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon Ground Cloves
1 tablespoon Butter
1 tablespoon Quick Oatmeal
2 tablespoons Almond Flour
1 teaspoon Sugar Substitute
8 pecan halves (optional)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees (F.) Prepare 2 1/2 cup ramekins or soufflé dishes by coating with a little butter.
Put 1/2 of the apple slices, 1/2 teaspoon brown sugar blend, 1/2 tablespoon syrup, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1/8 teaspoon cloves in each dish and stir. Microwave both for 1 minute. The bottom should be like a caramel syrup. If you are using nuts, break into pieces and distribute half on the top of each dish.
In a small bowl, mix oatmeal, almond flour, and sugar substitute and use a fork to mix in the butter to make a crumble. Add a little water to make a paste. Use a teaspoon to drop 1/2 on the top of each apple-filled dish. Spread it around a little to make a crust, but leave the middle open.
Bake 20 to 25 minutes until the crust is lightly browned. Let cool about 10 minutes or more.Serve with a little whipped cream.
