Keto Apple Crisp with Walnuts
Description
This recipe layers peeled and thickly sliced Fuji apples in a baking dish, then covers them with a mixture of chopped walnuts, melted butter, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and optional granulated sweetener. Baking at 375°F for about 25-30 minutes softens the apples while the walnut topping turns crisp and golden.
The Fuji apple variety is chosen for its firmness and sweetness, preventing mushiness during baking and complementing the nutty topping. The crisp topping provides texture contrast to the tender, juicy fruit underneath.
Servings are portioned for four, with the pan juices drizzled on top enhancing moisture and flavor. This dessert is appropriate for those counting carbs, provided sweetener and apple quantities align with their carb limits.
Leftovers store well refrigerated in an airtight container for up to four days and can be gently reheated under low microwave power to maintain texture.
Ingredients
- 2 apple peeled, cored, and sliced into ½-inch-thick slices, medium, Fuji variety
- 1 cup walnut unsalted and chopped; or pecans, raw
- 4 tablespoons butter melted, unsalted
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract pure
- 2 tablespoons granulated sweetener optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Arrange the apple slices in one or two layers in a square 9-inch baking dish (or a baking dish of a similar capacity). You can also use four individual baking dishes.
- In a medium bowl, using a fork, mix the chopped walnuts, melted butter, cinnamon, vanilla, and (if using) sweetener.
- Using a rubber spatula, pour the mixture over the apples, spreading it evenly.
- Bake the coated apples until the walnut topping is golden and the apples are tender, for about 25-30 minutes.
- Divide the apple crisp among four plates. Drizzle with the pan juices and serve.
Notes
- Use dense, crisp apples like Fuji for the best texture; avoid soft varieties which become mushy.
- Peeled apples improve the texture of the crisp topping by removing interfering apple skins.
- Store leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
- Reheat gently covered in the microwave at 50% power to preserve texture.
- The recipe contains about 10 grams net carbs per serving, suited for those allowing around 50 grams net carbs daily.
