Ingredients

Apple Pie Filling

Muffin

  • ½ cup butter softened
  • ½ cup monkfruit sweetener or other low carb sweetener
  • 4 medium eggs
  • ½ cup coconut flour
  • cup whey protein powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 tablespoons almond milk may need more if mixture too dry

Topping

  • 1 cup whipping cream
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Make the apple filling

  • Peel the chayote squash and slice the top and bottom off.
  • Cut the chayote into small squares
  • Place the chayote into a small saucepan with water and bring to the boil.
  • Cover and simmer for 8-10 minutes until soft. This may take longer depending how firm the chayote pear is.
  • Drain the chayote and place in bowl. Toss in the cinnamon and sweetener.
  • Set aside to cool.

Make the Muffins

  • Preheat the oven to 180C/350F degrees and line a muffin tin with 9 liners.
  • In a medium bowl whisk the butter and low carb sweetener together until smooth.
  • Whisk in the eggs, one at a time until light and fluffy.
  • Add the coconut flour, whey protein powder, baking powder, vanilla, almond milk and salt. Whisk to combine.
  • If the muffin mixture is too thick, add more almond milk.
  • Spoon the mixture into the muffin cases and bake for 25-30 minutes until the muffins are golden and firm.
  • Remove from the oven and allow too cool.

Assemble

  • Cut a well in the muffins and set aside the sponge. It may need trimming as it will be placed back on top of the filling.
  • Spoon the chayote into the muffin well up to the top.
  • Place the muffin lip on top of the chayote.
  • In a small bowl, whisk the cream and vanilla extract until thick.
  • Spoon the cream into a piping bag.
  • Pipe the cream on top of the muffin. Sprinkle with cinnamon to serve.
