Ingredients

  • For the filling:
  • 1 9-inch keto pie crust
  • 4 large chayote squash (approx. 2 lbs), chopped
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 cup granulated sweetener (erythritol, monk fruit, or allulose)
  • 1½ tablespoons coconut flour
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon apple extract (optional)
  • For the crumb topping:
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped unsalted almonds
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 cup coconut oil, melted and cooled
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1/4 cup sugar-free brown sugar substitute

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Prepare a keto pie crust or use a store-bought keto-friendly crust.
  2. In a large bowl, mix chopped chayote squash with melted butter, lemon juice, granulated sweetener, coconut flour, cinnamon, and apple extract (if using). Stir to combine.
  3. In another bowl, combine chopped almonds, almond flour, melted coconut oil, shredded coconut, and brown sugar substitute to make the crumble topping.
  4. Spoon the filling evenly into the prepared pie crust.
  5. Bake for 20 minutes.
  6. Remove pie from the oven and sprinkle the crumble topping over the filling.
  7. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 15–20 minutes, or until topping is golden brown.
  8. Let the pie cool for at least 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Apple extract enhances the flavor but is optional.
  • Swap chayote for zucchini if needed.
  • For dairy-free, use coconut oil instead of butter.
  • Add extra spices like nutmeg or apple pie spice for more warmth.
  • Chill leftovers in the fridge and reheat gently to maintain texture.
