MOCK APPLE CRISP

Recipe Introduction
Makes 6 servings. 5 carbs per serving.
Note: Allow enough zucchini so that you can discard the center "seeded" parts -
they keep the dish from mimicking 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.
* Canadian Brown Sugar Twin tastes better than the American (saccharin) version.
Note: This dish is good both hot and cold (and you'll see it's different both
ways) and is great served with a dollop
of fresh whipped cream, a splash of cold liquid cream, or served next to a
scoop of low-carb vanilla ice cream.

List of Ingredients
16 oz diced zucchini -- approx. (see note)
3 cups sugar-free apple cider mix (1 pkt of the dry mix made
with 3 cups water)
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 sugar free vanilla extract
cinnamon to taste Recipe
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!
