I'm crazy about chayote as an apple substitute. You do have to cook the sliced chayote for 30-40 minutes before putting it in a crust in order to make it as tender as an apple gets just by baking it into a pie. I cook it with lemon juice, sweetener, cinnamon, a little water, and a DROP of lorann's apple flavoring. Once the chayote is tender, I remove it and boil down the liquid until it's thick. That way you don't need any thickener when you put the chayote and juice into the pie crust.

I love love love this guy's personality and his pace like he doesn't go too fast and he doesn't mumble and he has a wonderful disposition that's contagious. Right now this episode is on apple pie and I could care less about apple pie but I was a little down and out and I thought I'll just listen to him and just watch him and I'll get into the better mood! RU-vid,... please don't cancel Highfalutin!!!!

After watching this, I made the yellow summer squash pie filling, but instead of making crust I made a crumble to put on top (almond flour, butter, sweetener, vanilla extract, and pecans). Oh my.....my family had NO idea they weren’t eating apple crisp topped with whipped cream! The lemon juice in the filling really does give the squash a bit of tartness like Granny Smith apples. I’m so excited about this recipe. Thanks for sharing it!

My new hobby is trying to discern what Wesley‘s first look means after he takes a bite of what he’s made.

The tasting/chewing comparison facial expressions get me every single time. 😂😂😂 I don't need any verbal communication after that.😁👍

I learned a tip for cutting and getting that first piece out looking better. You cut 3 pieces and remove the one in the center first. I've tried it and it works!

I've been making this pie for years. We have always used green zucchini though and it tastes EXACTLY like apple pie and has a little less carbs than the yellow squash. (Peeled and scoop out the seeds.)

I like the chayote squash, sliced smaller boil to fork tender, drain, add brown swerve, apple pie spice, butter, vanila. And then top with a mixture of walnuts, a baking blend, burn swerve and butter , put in oven and viola! Apple pie crisp- so good, even have some in the refrig right now 😁👍

Chayote squash is called Choko in Australia. They have been used for decades to plump out apple pies.

“Just sift ya’ll....just do what I tell you to do.” Yes sir!!!!🥴

Wesley you are a born entertainer!!! Love watching you!!!

Hey, Wes. Love your channel and appreciate that you refer people to the originators of the recipes. One idea: for an easier to assemble pie, I think either recipe that you showed could be used to make a "rustic" apple pie like my late mother in law made, and we enjoyed it for years on Sunday after church family meals. You make a bottom crust extra big and just fold it up around the sides. Don't have to fiddle with a top crust and deal with crimping. Still tastes the same. And although it's not as pretty, it still looks cool "as we navigate these uncertain times." 😊 Also, I live in central Indiana, too and if i ever see you out somewhere, I promise to holler "Y'all! We're making fried chicken! C'mon!"😁

I was getting up to do something. But then I saw 17 seconds ago this video was posted. Oh well, guess I'll just put off responsibilities a wee might longer. I love this "show".

I make chayote squash with swerve, cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla extract with butter. I put it in low carb wrap (1/2) . I pinch ends and fry in avocado oil. Then put icing on top. Sooo good

Never apologize for a long video. I could watch your videos all day! And I don’t even like apple pie 😂!

Just my $.02… I think the chayote is much closer to are taste and texture... I'd probably just use the sauce from the first recipe and everything else from the second. Would also be cool to just normalize nutrition for a 1/8 pie slice, nobody is going to cut it any smaller.

Hey Wes, My mom was a pastry chef. Her secret to that first piece of pie coming out wonderfully was to make two cuts. As if you were cutting two pieces out of the pie. Sounds simple... but it works. Good for cheese cake as well. Thank you for what you do. Love your channel.

I haven’t made it as an apple pie as yet (I don’t think I could have self control if it was made as a pie. I may eat the whole thing). However I did make the filling using chayote squash and loved it. I even put a serving over my “keto” ice cream. Oh yum!!! I cut it in chunks😋

I've had my grandmother's depression era mock apple pie, made with zucchini, so can imagine how good these would be. (Hers used bigger zucchini seeded and sliced so it really looked like a regular apple pie.)

I would love for you to do a third pie with your favorite crust, the chayote squash using the yellow squash recipe.

I use the apple extract too but I make mine with Jicama. the carb count is low but it has a natural sweetness and holds up to all the cooking.

thats pretty cool not giving up the ingredient amounts so you have to go to the creator. well done good sir, i like your style :)

I would love to see your outcome with switching up the filling with the other crust and see if you come out with the best version of an Apple pie! 😎

I love the Olive Nation extracts! I got the maple one, that I used to make candied bacon with. Chopped up bacon, pan fried until chewy and then drained, add Allulose, a touch of molasses for dark brown color/brown sugary "flavour", maple extract... Fry until crystallized slightly... Mmm!

When I was a kid it was common in my suburban neighborhood for everyone to have a backyard vegetable garden. My neighbor always had a bumper crop of zucchini and everyone in the neighborhood benefited... We were always searching for recipes to use zucchini... Waste not, want not... It was very common to use zucchini for a mock apple pie... If you weren't told, you couldn't tell the difference... I haven't made it in years, but I may start...

I knew that would be too much Xanthan Gum! I think this was well done. Thank you for your tireless efforts to bring us awesome recipes.

I made an “apple” cobbler using a blend of chayote and zucchini. I infused the apple flavour with apple tea and lemon juice.

Yep, I see a new Highfalutin’ Low Carb video - I give it an immediate like.

In Brazil the chayote squash is called chuchu and it is eating in daily bases. You can do salads, soups and stew. I like very much. To avoid the peeling hands you can peel after soak them in water. Good video!

I am intermittent fasting so that may be clouding my judgement here (haha). How in the world you managed to, not only wait so long for those to cool, but not to dive straight from the pan with a fork is beyond me. Those look so delicious and I can't wait to try them! You have amazing control. Oh My Gosh, I'm Really Hungry Now!

I WISH you would make follow up vids to these types videos where you test the "winner" vs. your amalgamation recipes.

I couldn't click "like" fast enough when I saw the words keto and apple pie!

I have a bumper crop of yellow squash already , so I'm going to make the filling and make a seeded/nut crumble and forget the crust. looks Delish! thanks for all you do for us.

I love this channel. Your realness and southern personality is awesome. New sub!

Wes, please do a low carb mashed "potato" battle!! Love your channel and energy! ❤

Thank you Wes. Thank you for doing these battles and helping us decide which is the better of the two or three when you do them because the world is so full of mock recipes in the keto Community it's hard to tell what's good and what isn't. The worst thing in the world is spending all that money to try a recipe for something and having it come out as a fail. And there have been a lot of them in my day.

You know what Paula Dean does to get that first piece out perfectly? She uses a foil pie plate and cuts through the plate with scissors to get out that first one perfectly.

"Just sift yall do what I tell ya to do " 🤣🤣🤣

I tried making mock apple pie with the chayote squash quite a while ago, and I'm sure the recipes have been greatly better developed since then, but I remember having to cook the heck out of the squash to get it tender. Thanks so much for trying these, and by the way, your hair looks particularly adorable in this video. ( :

I love watching these videos. I haven’t been low carb or keto for quite some time but I’m originally from NW FL and hearing Wes just cook and talk while he’s in the kitchen reminds me of home. I live in Finland now, but the moment I turn on HFLC video it’s like I’m back in that kitchen at my granny or momma’s house just listening to everyone talk and carry on. Sometimes it feels like if I listen really carefully I can almost her my papa asking “when’s supper gonna be ready? I’m ‘bout to starve!” and my cousins running around slamming the screen door behind them while my granny scolds them -“in or out of the house! Choose one! We’re not gonna keep that door open and air condition the whole neighborhood!” Thank you for this little slice of home ❤️

You never disappoint and your facial expressions and fork tapping says it all. Have a great weekend.

Would love an update on using the chayote squash with the first recipe!

New to your channel, and so excited to see your content! I’m so grateful to you, because it’s difficult to find foods that I can eat with my health issues. Thanks again! 🙏❤️

Outstanding video. Well worth my time to watch it. I joined Thrive after your last video. Love it. I can get all the weird stuff you guys use in one place. Now, quarter that pie and lets do it....................

Wes, you are adorable and thank you for all you hard work on each and every battle. We all appreciate you!

The title Mock Apple Pie reminded me of a pie my mom used to make when she was out of apples. She used soda crackers covered in a cinnamony sugar syrup. It looked and tasted just like apples - there's no way you could tell the difference. Holy carb bomb. No wonder we all grew up chubby. I love that you blow on every bite whether it's hot or cold. Thanks for another great video.

If you cut two pieces of a pie before you remove the first, it's easier to get a clean slice.

I made this using the crust from the chayote and the summer squash filling. I don't like apple pie so I made it for my husband. He absolutely loved it. He said if he hadn't seen the video he would not have known it was not apple!! Wes, have you tried strawberry rhubarb pie/crisp/crumble?

Looks yummy. Would love to see an “apple” crisp!

I've made mock apple pie for years using zucchini. Never made it low carb but I sure its about the same as the yellow squash. Thank you! Gonna try this out on the family on the 4th of July.

I like this recipe I’ve tried it before but a different recipe and it’s been a long time ago all I did was to add apple pie spices, cornstarch a bit of lemon and a sugar.I didn’t add the gelatin but I should’ve huh! Love your channel I always watch it and I think you’re wonderful have a nice Fourth of July

You did the mock apple pie battle!!! I was just about to take a nap and saw this notification pop up...must watch now!! Btw..the radish 'potato' salad is delicious! I made a second batch already since ur video lol

The look you get when something is good just tickles me every time. LOL It's a total, "YA'LLLLL!" Good to see you again my fellow Georgian!

I did the first recipe. I double the filling and the dough for a thicker crust and lined the pan with parchment. At start, I added a tsp of apple extract to the wet mix. I also buttered, sugared, and egg washed the top crust. Once cool, lifted my pie out of the pan onto a cutting board to cut. OmGosh! So divine!!! Also, tried a strudel with cream cheese with this crust and filling. Heavenly!!!

I loved watching you make these. I think I'm going to try the Chayote squash pie & crust sweetened and sub gelatin for the xanthan gum and use the spices from the summer squash. The mix of the two reminds me of my traditional apple pies.

Wesley I just love watching u! Ur accent, your demeanour...you just make me smile!

We have a grocery store in Texas, HEB. Chayote squash is readily available. In fact, I prepared it as I used to do my cooked apples, minus the crust. I can't wait to prepare this recipe, but 8 grams of net carbs per slice is way too many for me. Won't be using yellow squash.

I love that you saved the used bowl and used parchment paper to reuse on the second recipe. That how my brain works, too.

Love this episode, Wesley. Glad you are honest and forthright about the end product. Keep up the good work.

Always so excited when you post! I have learned so much from you. I am excited to try yellow squash as an apple pie, but I will do a crumble. I am not good with crusts. Thank you!

ya eally killed me when you cut the dough in half! triggered some OCD with the top being smaller!!go back and watch! love it anyway!LOL !

Love your videos; it encourages me in my low carb journey also. Things get hard at times trying to eat low carb, searching for new tasty recipes and cooking. Thanks for what you do.

Did you prefer both the crust and the filling of the yellow squash pie, or, the yellow squash filling and the chayote crust? Somehow, I cant figure out what you said.....

Your videos just make me smile!

First time here, great video and info! Following you on FB and subscribed to your channel. Will definitely try this pie! Just started doing low carb 2 months ago and I'm down 15 1/2 lbs! Will definitely be checking your recipe battles! Thanks!

This looks fantastic. When you experiment and come up with the best recipe, please put it online for us to try. Love your videos.❤

Very very interesting. Was there a big difference in texture between the two? Did one stand out as closer to apple feeling texture wise? Tastewise they both sound great. Might have to cut down the Xantham gum though in that other one haha.

I love his excitement during the taste test! Makes me want to cook it!

It passes the southern pie test. Gotta try this today.

It's so funny how you can watch Wesley's brain, step-by-step analyzing and processing as he eats. 😂 I 💗 it!!!! Tickles me everytime! I might need to exfoliate my feet with some of that chayote squash so thanks for that tip. 😂

Wes, I always trust your choice of the recipes and cannot wait to make Apple Pie ! My garden has green zucchini so will have to look for yellow zucchini 😊

I truly appreciate the amount of work you put into your videos. Thank you so much!!!

Please, PLEASE do a 2nd episode! Highfalutin' remix using the Chayote in place of the summer squash. Great episode!

OMG, you read my mind with this one! I've been wanting to try keto apple pie for a few weeks now. Thank you for this video!

"A few moments later..." I die every time I hear that, Wes. And I love your facial expressions! Oh man I love this channel!

Back in the 1960s, my grandmother made a similar pie (not keto, with a flour crust), but using green tomatoes. It was not a pleasant experience for those of us who were the taste testers. However, she also made a "green tomato cake". The cake was a take on apple sauce cake and it was actually pretty good. She was very experimental with her cooking.

My wife and I found Chayote Squash at Publix supermarket in Palatka, Florida so I'm sure other Publix stores carry it or would if asked to do so. We enjoy very much your videos and have gained a lot of know how from watching them. Thank you very much and hope you have a great New Year.

Subscribed today after watching this video and I also made the squash apple pie. Let me tell you, it was delicious. I’m so glad I found your channel. I didn’t make the chayote one because it is way too expensive in my area.

Would love to see a recipe from gnomgnom. They use some really interesting ingredients to nail down classic comforts made low carb.

Apple pie always was my favorite pie, have not had any in at least a couple of years. Definitely gonna try the yellow squash version. Thank you Wes!

Hi, I thought you did great! Thank you for all you do!

In Australia we call those fruits choko have known them myself for a lifetime of 70 years.They take on the flavour of any fruits .And were always known as a filler when short on fruits.Many preserves were made in a pie with half of it being choko,and no one knew the difference.They were also used in many different meals.

31:58 when his eyelids flutter 😋🌹🌹👍👍

*I can't wait to try making this delicious apple pie at home and share it with my loved ones. Keep up the great work, and I'm looking forward to seeing more fantastic low-carb recipes from your channel!*

Awesome recipes!!! P.S. You should try the new rays sugar free bbq sauce. Best sugar free sauce I’ve tried so far.

I had never heard of chayote squash. I am pleased that you showed them. In Australia we call them chokes.

Did you ever experiment with the fillings and crusts? I would love to see a video on the end product if so. It is early, but Memorial Day is coming up in a few months and I always make apple pie. :-)

Your rolled out top crust looks so much better than any I have made. I will try both of these. Thanks for sharing.

Well done, Wesley, as always. What you gonna do with all that pie in the house? If it were me, it wouldn’t be safe with me around.

Wes, pllllllease do a short follow up with the chayote squash ,crust switch ups. If you wanted to make it longer...make extra filling and show us how to make an amazing mock-apple crisp?

Those look great I have a request do you think you canxcome up with a low carb chocolate gravy? Hubby was wanting some😍💜

You could use green apple to make this possibly since green apple has a sugar lowering effect in the body.

I have now watched through all of your videos! Keep up the great work!

In Australia chayote is called choko and as well as being used as apple substitute or complement to apples they are used to bulk out other vegs and fruits. They readily absorb other flavours, so cooking them with pumpkin they taste like pumpkin, with rhubarb like rhubarb and so on. Great for boiled foods and mash.

Thank you Wes! I miss apple pies, apple crisps, apple cobblers since being on Keto. I have been really wanting to try an "Apple Dessert" with the Chayote squash! My Mother in Law has an amazing Sour Cream Apple Pie recipe that I really want to make and sub the Chayote. I'm gonna do it! You have inspired me! YUM!

Thank you. I'm using the chocolate with the first pie filling and then topping with a keto crumble topping. Can't wait!

Hi Wes! I'm so glad Peter Monn shouted you out in his video. I am SO going to binge watch your videos. I need some low carb inspiration. And I need sass.

Some feedback from tonight’s mashup of these recipes, so far: couldn’t find my pie pans so had to resort to employing a Pyrex veggie pot as a “deep dish” pie plate... we shall see... But, the biggest hurdle was that I’ve never worked with the gelatin before, and mine didn’t so much as bloom as... gummie... and I followed the recipes, but I used packets of Knox gelatin, so I don’t know if that is the issue or what happened? It was ok for the filling as it melted out, but my daggone crust had semi-smallish chunks of unflavored jelly beans dotted throughout 🤣
