Mock Apple Crisp
Ingredients:
Approx 16 oz diced zucchini *
3 cups sugar-free apple cider mix
(This means 1 pkt of the dry mix made with water to be 3 cups liquid.)
1 Tablespoon Splenda®
1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum
1/3 cup pecan meal (or coarse almond meal)
3/4 cup Splenda®
2 teaspoons Brown Sugar Twin® *
1 Tablespoon melted butter
2 teaspoons sugarfree vanilla extract
cinnamon to taste
Combine zucchini and liquid (pre-made) cider mix in a medium saucepan and bring to a
boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer until zucchini is translucent (about 1 hour) - at this
point the zucchini will have taken on the taste of apples. (Zucchini have little of their own
flavor and are willing to mimic other tastes with a bit of prodding. They will look and
smell like them too!)
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Remove from heat and place in well buttered baking dish. Mix 1 Tablespoon Splenda and
xanthan gum and quickly and evenly stir into zucchini. In separate bowl, mix pecan meal
and 3/4 cup Splenda. Add Brown Sugar Twin. Stir into melted butter and add extract.
Spread over top of zucchini and sprinkle cinnamon as desired. Bake 15-20 min. or until
top is brown and mixture is bubbly!
Makes 6 servings. 5 carbs per serving.

* Allow enough zucchini so that you can discard the center "seeded" parts - they keep the
dish from mimicing apples. The best way to prepare the zucchini is to peel well, slice in
half. Then stand each half on its flat end and cut downward to edge of seeded center,
turning a quarter turn each time so you have four strips of zucchini flesh without seeds.
Repeat for all zucchini and discard seed centers and peelings. Then dice zucchini flesh
into cubes that look just like diced apples.
