Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut (optional)
- 1/2 cup granulated erythritol or any preferred keto-friendly sweetener
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 medium-sized Granny Smith apples (or any low-carb apple variety), peeled, cored, and diced
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon granulated erythritol (or to taste)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
- Chopped nuts (like walnuts or pecans)
- Whipped cream or sugar-free vanilla ice cream
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 175 °C (350 °F). This ensures that the bars bake evenly and achieve a nice golden color.
- Lightly grease a square baking dish (about 20×20 cm) or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- In a large bowl, mix the almond flour, unsweetened coconut (if using), erythritol, melted butter, egg, vanilla extract, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon until well combined.
- Press half of the mixture into the prepared baking dish to form an even layer for the crust. Make sure it is pressed firmly to prevent crumbling in the oven.
- In a separate bowl, combine the diced apples with lemon juice, erythritol, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Spread this mixture evenly over the crust.
- Sprinkle the remaining almond flour mixture evenly over the apple filling to cover the bars and add extra crunch.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. Be careful not to overbake to avoid drying out the bars.
- Remove the bars from the oven and let them cool completely in the dish on a wire rack for about 30 minutes.
- Once cooled, cut into even pieces and garnish with nuts or cream as desired. The bars can be served warm or cold.

Keywords: Ensure the apples are diced evenly for uniform cooking. Use a high-quality glass or ceramic baking dish for even heat distribution. Adjust the sweetness with more erythritol if desired, but be cautious not to exceed keto limits. Always let the bars cool completely before removing them from the dish to prevent crumbling. For extra crunch, sprinkle chopped nuts on top before baking.
