Sugar Free Keto Apple Cake
Description
This sugar-free keto apple cake features peeled and cored apples sliced and diced, macerated with lemon juice and sweetener to prevent browning and draw out moisture. Excess liquid is discarded to maintain crumb texture. The batter incorporates beaten eggs, cooled melted butter, cream cheese, almond milk, and vanilla extract, blended with almond and coconut flours, baking powder, and cinnamon to create a smooth, spiced dough.
The cake bakes in a greased, parchment-lined springform pan at 350°F to yield a moist crumb thanks to the cream cheese and butter. A crumble topping made from almond flour, coconut flour, melted butter, sweetener, and cinnamon adds texture and spiced sweetness. The cake slices into 12 servings with about 6.5 grams net carbs each.
It works well served with keto-style custard, whipped cream, or sugar-free vanilla ice cream, making it suitable for low-carb diets or sugar-restricted plans. The cake keeps refrigerated for up to 4 days and can be frozen for up to 3 months maintaining quality.

Instructions
Prepare apples
- Place the apples in a mixing bowl. Squeeze over a little lemon juice to stop browning. Drain any excess to prevent sogginess. Mix the apples with the sweetener. Let it sit for 30 minutes to macerate. Discard any liquid.
Cake Batter
- Preheat the oven to 180 C / 350F and line the bottom of a 20 cm / 8 inch round springform with parchment paper. Grease the sides with butter.
- In a large bowl using an electric mixer or in a food processor, beat the room temperature eggs until pale, fluffy and double in size. About 2 minutes.
- Add the sweetener, melted and cooled butter, cream cheese, almond milk and vanilla extract. Continue beating for another 1 minute.
- Mix the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder and cinnamon in a separate bowl. Then add to the wet ingredients and blend until you have a smooth batter.
Crumble
- Mix all ingredients in a separate bowl using a fork.
Assembly
- Separate the apple slices from the diced apple. Mix the chopped apples through the cake batter and fill the springform. Arrange the apple slices on top in a single layer. Top off with the streusel mix.
- Bake in the preheated oven on the middle shelf for 60-65 minutes or until a skewer inserted comes out free of dough. Check after 35-40 minutes. If the top of the cake has browned sufficiently, loosely cover it with a piece of aluminium foil to prevent burning.
- Let the cake cool completely before releasing and removing the springform.
Notes
- This cake yields 12 slices with approximately 6.5g net carbs per slice, suitable for keto diets.
- Serve with keto custard, whipped cream, or sugar-free vanilla ice cream to complement the apple flavors.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze tightly wrapped for up to 3 months.
- Macerating the apples with lemon juice and sweetener prevents browning and adds natural sweetness without moisture excess affecting crumb texture.
