These taste just like granny smith apples from the center of a pie! Imagine the fun you could have with these! They are really yummy! Just made some!
2 Large Chayote Squash
1/2 cube of butter
Cinnamon to taste
4-5 packets of splenda (to taste)
Key lime juice (or just lime juice if you can't find key lime juice- lemon might be ok too) - to taste: I suggest to start with 1 TBSP - this is what gives the squash that realistic granny smith apple-like tartness. You can make it as tart as you like...or not :)
Peel Chayotes, remove centers and slice thinly. Melt butter over medium heat in a large skillet. Add squash, cinnamon and splenda and turn to coat with mixture. When the chayote begins to look transluscent (or begins to get limp) add the lime juice. Turn to coat squash throughly.
Squash is done when soft and transluscent. You can remove it from the heat sooner though to avoid a mushy texture.
This would be excellent on top of home made LC ice cream! In yogurt? In a tart shell with an nut crust? Oh yum! :eating:
Total carbs for recipe: 16 net carbs - 4 carbs per serving.....careful! They are addictive! :yummy:
