Keto Caramel Apple Cheesecake
I can’t think of a more Fall type dessert and perfect way to enjoy the season than something that has caramel and apples and rich cheesecake in it, can you?
It’s the season of all things apple, but many of you are all ready into pumpkin. I am too, don’t get me wrong, especially since everyone is going crazy for my latest video of the Pumpkin Cheesecake Mousse!
But I decided to get “seasonal” and make sure to include an apple recipe with a creamy filling this September! This will be your favorite way to enjoy a few apple recipes this season!
Keto Shortbread Crust
It may seem like a bit of work, but it’s a pretty simple recipe with 3 easy layers of deliciousness!
The first layer is a buttery shortbread crust made without almond or other nuts for those who have tree nut allergies like my youngest son.
The middle is all cream cheese mixture for a simple cheesecake filling. It’s topped with an apple layer of delicious crumb of apples and coconut flour mixture to make it have some fabulous texture once baked!
Sugar-Free Caramel Sauce
Of course it’s best if chilled, but you could certainly enjoy it straight from the oven. Just be sure to allow it some time to set aside or it will fall apart when you try cutting into it.
Cheesecake and crusts without gluten are known for that, just part of the issue baking low carb. Wait a bit and this will slice easily.
Enjoy it with some of my Sugar-Free Caramel Sauce on top!
My hubby and the kids thought this delicious keto apple pie cheesecake bars were phenomenal! They are usually quite picky, especially the hubby, but everyone thought the flavor and texture was out of this world!
Can I swap fresh apples?
Yes if you are following a strict keto diet and don’t want to use apples, you can swap with chayote squash. That will drop the carbs down.
