When I'm in the mood for cake, it has to be quick. For you, too? I have no motivation for complicated recipes. The fewer ingredients I need and the faster it goes, the better I like it.

That is one of the very biggest plus points for this apple pie without flour. And that brings us to the next point: without flour.
It doesn't hurt us all to eat fewer carbohydrates now and then. There are many healthy alternatives to white flour that contain nutrients we can really benefit from. The best example is nuts.
Almonds are an excellent source of healthy fats, protein and fiber. You'll find plenty of magnesium, vitamin E, copper and calcium. The nuts are said to prevent cravings and strengthen the immune system.
Too much white flour, on the other hand, can lead to skin problems and migraines.

Why your apple pie should be sugar free
Conventional cake contains a lot of refined sugar. In other words, household sugar. However, this is not healthy for our body. And for the low carb diet anyway absolutely unsuitable.
But even those who do not follow a low carb diet should try to limit their sugar consumption.
Alternatively own Erythritol* and Xylitol* (Birch sugar*) for baking. They have the same sweetening power but significantly fewer calories. With Xylitol* you get 286 calories and with Erythritol* even to 0 calories. For comparison: 100 grams of household sugar have 410 calories.
But that doesn't mean that you should eat masses of our low carb apple pie.
Too much sugar causes tooth decay, diabetes and makes us fat.
You can simply replace household sugar with Erythritol* and you've already done something good for your body.
Our conclusion
If you want to bake a low carb apple pie, then you will surely like our recipe. You can still celebrate it to your liking and fold in other nuts and spices.
