OMG! Love this recipe. I had a small homegrown, young, greenish pumpkin that was given to me. It had no flavor so I used it for this recipe. I really didn't think it was going to be good because the recipe is so unusual. It was great! I did use the apple extract and was so impressed. I made half the recipe and ate all of it in one sitting. Yum!

This is a great recipe Lisa. I only had 3 cups of zucchini but I followed the rest of the recipe as is and it was perfect.

My husband is picky when it comes to eating my keto stuff. He was as happy as I was with this recipe and I even served it as a dessert for non-keto company! Really great dessert!!!

Interesting recipe, very ingenious. I did make this today, with Swerve brown sugar, apple extract, ACV etc, and I mostly liked it. But there was a chemical taste to it that was off-putting. I'm wondering if it was from the apple extract??? Or perhaps the Swerve brown sugar. In any case, I'm going to try making it again without the apple extract and I'll use Lakanto golden sugar, to see if that helps rid this of that chemical taste.

This was an easy dessert to whip up. Since we have 4 adults in the household eating mostly low carb I am always looking for new takes on recipes. I used yellow squash and cubed it. Topping was tasty and crunchy. This recipe is a keeper!

In reply to Karissa. I'll get that changed. It took me more like 15 minutes.

As great as this recipe is (it really does taste like apple crisp!), I would like you to find me someone on this planet who can peel, core, and slice six zucchini in 5 minutes (in addition to the other steps required before this goes in the oven). I think saying 5 minutes of prep time required is a little unreal. The zucchini process alone took 30 minutes. Plan ahead.

In reply to Shelli. I haven't tried it personally, but it should work out.

Would replacing the almond flour with pecan meal work?

In reply to Diana. Using apple cider vinegar for some of the lemon juice is a good way to get in a little real apple flavor since apple extract is not that easy to find. I should add that in to the notes. Thanks for sharing!

I know my apples. I am an apple crisp lover (instead of birthday cake I prefer apple crisp). Friends and relatives say my apple pie is the best they ever tasted. With this said, I was an absolute skeptic this would taste like apple crisp but thought I'd give it a try. To my surprise it did taste like apples! I took advice of other reviewers and used a 1/4 tsp xanthan gum, ACV for part of the lemon juice and brown sugar swerve in the topping. I did not have apple flavoring (used vanilla) pecans or oat fiber but used coconut flour. Turned out perfect. ( sliced zucchini thin rounds, then halved, salted (waited 20 min) drained and dried with paper towels. Excellent! would make again try to find apple flavoring just to see if it makes a difference.
