If you’ve been following this blog for a while then you know that I keep preaching to do your math before excluding any food groups from your diet – at least regarding the ketogenic diet.

Apples, for example, should be an absolute no go, right?
What if I tell you that these little keto apple pie fat bombs only have 3g net carbs each?
That doesn’t sound like a lot, does it?

Because it isn’t.
I have plenty of recipes that only contain generally “keto-approved” foods that have a higher carb count and that’s because I usually research the carb count before creating any recipe containing “no-go” foods like apples or carrots and adjust accordingly.

One whole apple is pretty hefty and will definitely kick you out of ketosis – but this recipe only calls for half of a middle-sized apple (I highly recommend weighing your piece of apple for this recipe – mine weighed 80g) which accounts for 10g net carbs.

Combined with the remaining ingredients and divided by the servings it’ll leave you with the very appropriate number of 3g net carbs per serving.
It just makes keto so much easier and sustainable in my opinion and leaves you with more jiggle room for delicious recipes like this one!

HOW TO MAKE KETO APPLE PIE FAT BOMBS:

 
1. Prepare the apple:
I highly recommend weighing your apple to make sure you’re not adding too much carbs, but you should be fine with about 1/2 of a middle-sized apple (weighing approx. 80-90g or 3 oz).

Grate 3/4 of your apple and add it into a small non-sticking pot.
Set aside the remaining piece of apple for now.

Add the butter, brown erythritol, vanilla extract, cinnamon and lemon juice to the pot as well and set to medium heat.
Stir while the butter is melting and bring it to a boil while not increasing the heat.

The reason for this is that we want to cook the apple pulp slightly to get the typical “apple pie” aroma but we want to avoid that the butter burns.
This can easily be done in a controlled setting if the heat is turned to medium instead of high – but you should keep an eye on the pot anyway and stir while bringing it to a boil.

Let the mixture simmer for about a minute.

 
2. Fill into cupcake liners:
Prepare 4 cupcake liners or something similar for the mixture to be filled in.
Distribute the mixture evenly into the cupcake liners.

Chill for at least 1 hour.

 
3. Serve:
While the apple pie fat bombs are chilling in the fridge, chop the remaining 1/4 of the apple into fine cubes and whip your heavy cream (if desired).

Serve once the fat bombs are solid with a tbsp of whipped cream, chopped apple and a bit of cinnamon sprinkled on top!
The fat bombs won’t be completely “solid” – meaning I’d store them in the cupcake liners and also serve them in the cups instead of removing them from the cups. 🙂

 
The keto apple pie fat bombs will keep for at least 4-5 days, but I’d recommend preparing the whipped cream and/or chopped apple separately as those will spoil sooner than the fat bombs alone.

 
Nutrition Info:
One keto apple pie fat bomb (recipe yields 4) has approx. 2.9g net carbs (3.3g total carbs and 0.4g dietary fiber), 13.1g fat, 0.3g protein, and 131 calories.

Keep in mind that the nutrition info per serving may change depending on the size of the cupcake liners or form you use.

(I try to be as accurate as possible with this information, but values may vary because of natural occurring fluctuations and different products used.)

Q: How do you include Erythritol in your calculations?

A: The short answer is: I don’t, and I can tell you why.


Erythritol is a sugar alcohol which your body can’t digest.
If you ingest it, it won’t spike your blood sugar & it won’t release insulin (which is a good thing if you want to stay in ketosis).

It passes through our system basically “untouched”.
Because of this, you can subtract the carbs from erythritol completely, which is what I always do.
