INSTRUCTIONS
KETO APPLE PIE FILLING:
- In a small pinch bowl, whisk the gelatin powder with 3 tablespoons (44 mL) lemon juice. Set aside to bloom.
- https://307620460c6357118e1842c45396f4ba.safeframe.googlesyndication.com/safeframe/1-0-40/html/container.htmlIn a large 3.5-quart (3.3 liter) saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the powdered sweetener, the remaining 3 tablespoons (44 mL) lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cardamom. When the gelatin mixture has thickened, whisk it into the pan, until dissolved.
- Add the diced squash to the pan. Bring to a simmer. Simmer over medium heat for about 30-40 minutes, until the squash is very soft and the mixture has thickened, similar to apple pie filling.
- Stir in the vanilla and maple extracts.
- Set the filling aside to cool until no hotter than lukewarm, at least 20 minutes.
KETO APPLE PIE CRUST:
KETO APPLE PIE ASSEMBLY:
- Preheat the oven again to 350 degrees F (177 degrees C), if it has cooled. Make sure the filling and bottom crust are both cooled to no hotter than lukewarm before assembling.
- Gently transfer the cooled filling to the cooled bottom crust.
- Lift the top piece of parchment paper off the rolled out top crust. Using the bottom piece of parchment paper, carefully and rapidly flip the top crust over onto the pie, then gently peel off the parchment paper. Use a knife to cut any excess top crust off the edges, making sure it still completely covers the bottom crust. Use your fingers to press the edges down to seal. Cut 4 slits in the top of the pie.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the edges are browned. Cover the edges of the pie with foil and bake for an additional 5-15 minutes, until the top crust is light golden and semi-firm to the touch. (It will not fully firm up until after cooling.)
- Remove the pie from the oven and cool completely before cutting or removing from the pan.
