I didn't use the apple extract, just the spices and still great

In reply to Samantha.

I have made this several times now. Delish. Note: I simmered the chayote for 15 minutes then peeled. Outside just slides off and our isn't mushy when done.

Is the serving size really just 1 gram?! That’s barely a crumb.

This is very good. Make sure you get off all the peel I missed a little and you can tell it's very hard. Almost like the real thing

In reply to Suzy Morandi. It depends on whether it's natural or artificially flavored. You should be fine with an artificial apple flavoring. You can omit it, but the apple flavor won't be there.

Is the apple extract made from real apples? I'm allergic.

In reply to Lisa. No amount of boiling jicama will soften it.

I find it easier to boil the chayote whole, then cut in half length wise. Now it will peel easier and the seed comes out easier, too. I love using chayote to replace apples. I tried jicama but it stays crunchy, like water chestnuts.

In reply to April. April, Thanks for the tip about using the Instant Pot to soften the chayote squash. I'll try that next time.

In reply to Lisa. Lisa, I haven't made this but I make apple crisp or just cinnamon apples with the chayote squash. I always cook mine in the instant pot for 10 or so minutes to get them soft before putting them in the oven with the crumble topping

In reply to Marie Lynne. You can find Chayote squash in Asian or Hispanic markets. They are readily available there always.

In reply to DonnaM. Psyllium powder has that same sandy texture. It's from the fiber, so there's no avoiding it. I try to avoid it at all costs these days because that became such a turn off that I can't eat it, anymore.
