For the Apples:
- 80 g diced apples (make sure to dice the apple really well)
For the keto dough:
- 1/4 cup organic palm shortening
- 1/4 cup tahini
- 1 large egg at room temperature
- 1/2 cup brown sugar substitute (add more or less depending on preference)
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 1 2/3 cup almond flour
- 1 tbsp flaxseed meal
- 2-3 tsp apple pie spice mix (or cinnamon - adjust to taste)
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
For the Sugar-Free Glaze
- 1/4 cup powdered sweetener
- 1/4 tsp vanilla
- 1-2 tsp heavy cream (or water) - depending on desired thickness of glaze
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line an 8 x 8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, making sure to have an overhang.
- Beat on high speed the shortening, tahini and sweetener for 1-2 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla and beat until incorporated. Add in all remaining ingredients (except for the apples) and beat on high (the dough will be thick like cookie dough).
- Fold in the apples and press the mixture into the pan.
- Place the pan in the oven and bake for 20-22 minutes or until the edges just begin to brown and the center is just set. Remove the pan and allow it to cool for 20-30 minutes.
- While the bars cool, stir together the sugar-free glaze ingredients.
- Once bars have cooled but are still warm, spread the glaze over the bars.
- Allow the bars to cool to room temperature before cutting them into 16 squares.
Notes
- you can use butter instead of shortenint
- you can replace the tahini with any nut butter but you may need to add a little milk if the batter is too thick.
