Indulge in the flavors of apple pie and cheesecake while staying true to your keto lifestyle with these delicious bars. A perfect combination of creamy cheesecake, faux apple pie filling made with zucchini, and a crunchy almond flour crust.

Ingredients: For the crust: 2 cups almond flour, 1/3 cup powdered erythritol, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 cup butter, melted. For the cheesecake filling: 16 ounces cream cheese, softened, 2/3 cup powdered erythritol, 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. For the apple filling: 2 cups diced zucchini, 2 tablespoons butter, 3 tablespoons powdered erythritol, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum.

Instructions: Warm the oven up to 325F 163C and line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving extra on the sides to make it easy to take off. For the crust, mix the baking powder, salt, and almond flour in a medium-sized bowl. Add the melted butter and mix it in until the mixture looks like big crumbs. In a ready pan, press the mixture firmly into the bottom. For 10 to 12 minutes, or until just barely golden, bake the crust. Take it out of the oven and let it cool down a bit. Make the cheesecake filling at the same time. Mix the powdered erythritol and cream cheese in a large bowl until the mixture is smooth. Add the eggs one at a time and beat in. Then add the vanilla extract and mix well. Cover the crust with the filling and let it cool. Put the diced zucchini and 2 tablespoons of water in a bowl that can go in the microwave. This will make the apple filling. Put the zucchini in the microwave on high for three to four minutes, covered, until it is soft. Remove any extra liquid. Set the pan on medium heat and melt the butter. Powdered erythritol, cinnamon, and xanthan gum should be added along with the cooked zucchini. For about 5 to 7 minutes, stir the mixture often until it gets thick and looks like apple pie filling. Cover the cheesecake layer in the pan with the apple filling and spread it out evenly. Add the apple filling to the cheesecake batter and mix it in with a knife. For 25 to 30 minutes, or until the edges are set but the middle still moves a little, bake the bars. Take the bars out of the oven and let them cool all the way in the pan. Put it in the fridge for at least two hours after it's cooled down before cutting it into bars. Enjoy!
