Spiralized Apple Pie Topping with Walnuts. The quick and healthy way to enjoy the flavor of apple pie without gluten, grains or extra carbs!

Spiralized Apple Pie Topping with Walnuts from www.EverydayMaven.com

A couple of months ago I hosted a charity dinner party / cooking class that was conceived of last year. It was an auction item that I offered for my son’s school. The topic was “Healthy Noodle Dishes” and focused on spiralizing, basically teaching and cooking on how to use veggie and fruit noodles to lighten up and reduce the carbs in some classic dishes.

I wanted to keep dessert simple and plan something that could be made on the fly so that my guests could spiralize noodles and watch them transform into a sweet treat. This Spiralized Apple Pie Topping with Walnuts was created that night and I’ve made it many times since.

It is an excellent topping for ice cream, Greek yogurt, oatmeal, and even mug cakes. The best part is that it literally takes minutes to make. From spiralizing the apples to sauteing them, this topping is ready and on the table in about 5 minutes.

Naturally gluten-free, grain-free and free of added carbs, this can also be made with coconut oil if you want to avoid dairy!

NOTES:

  • Any apples will work but firm apples spiralize better and the best apples for this dish are the type that would work for Apple Pie.
  • Maple syrup can be substituted for the coconut palm sugar but you will need a bit more as it will cook off quicker.
  • Virgin Organic Coconut Oil can be substituted for Pastured Butter but you will lose a little bit of the “pie” flavor and creaminess for an oilier consistency.
