Ingredients

  • 1 chayote squash
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 teaspoon apple pie spice
  • 1 tablespoon brown swerve
  • Squeeze of lemon juice
  • ¼ teaspoon of Natural Apple Flavoring optional

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Wash, and peel, the chayote squash. Cut the squash in half and there’s a pit that you’ll want to remove. Then chop the chayote squash into bite size pieces.
  2. Heat a skillet to low heat and melt the butter. Add in the squash and sauté for 3 minutes, covered.
  3. Add in the Brown Swerve, apple pie spice, apple flavoring and lemon, then continue sautéing for 5 minutes (covered) or until fork tender.
  4. While the mixture is still warm, puree using an immersion blender, mini chopper or food processor. Serve either warm over ice cream, pancakes, waffles or all on it’s own. Or you can serve it chilled like traditional applesauce. Personally, I think it's best served warm! Store leftovers in an airtight jar in the fridge for several days.

Notes

  • If you want it on the chunkier side puree as is. If you want it a little looser, add in 1-2 teaspoons of water while still in the pan and mix, then puree.
