Wes, could you convince Thrive Market to ship to Europe please?
Highfalutin' Low Carb play
Low carb love has a mock apple crisp, you should try. She used chayote as well.
Congratulations Wes I just noticed your wedding ring. For sure I might have always missed is but either way I wish you two the best marriage has to offer. I must say that Wes I really enjoy your match up demos and I especially like your own recipe videos.
When you do pitch for Thrive in these hard times you might mention that they will gift a membership if you can’t afford it. They truly are a company with a heart.
Stay blessed my friend. 🔥🙏❤️✝️💗
Wes, are you finding it difficult to control weight eating Keto? I am thinking about either carnivore or keto. The carnivore people seem to be losing more weight effortlessly but the keto people still count calories. What is your experience?
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.
My new hobby is trying to discern what Wesley‘s first look means after he takes a bite of what he’s made.
Great poker face, right? 🙃
I'm thinking that finger up to the camera while seemingly struggling with a stuck mouth full of food as the video cuts away is giving time to hurl the hard to chew test bite into a trash can or from the leaning over possibly the floor...... just sayin.
Yes 😂
🤣🤣🤣👍🏽

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!
TH-cam,... please don't cancel Highfalutin!!!!
Totally agree. Love watching him
So glad he did the work for us. Brilliant that he decided to use one recipes filling with the other one's crust. The genius of Wesley ❤️
100%
I live his personality too
Love not live
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
OMG! 😮😮🤤🤤
Definitely does. I made the mistake of watching this at 11pm before bed. Now I'm hungry. 🙄
Is a chayote squash a choko ?
O. M. G.🤗
That would be good with some cheese in my opinion!
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!
The tasting/chewing comparison facial expressions get me every single time.
😂😂😂
I don't need any verbal communication after that.😁👍
IKR?? 😂😂
Exactly!!! 😂
@@TheEMC99
I'm working on a flow chart of them for those who can't pick up on the "subtile" differences.😁
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!
Just saw this video, and your comment. What a great idea!!
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 😁👍
That was supposed to be brown swerve 😊
What is baking blend? It sounds great! At what temperature and for how long do you bake this?
Cheryl Kelly
In
Cheryl Kelly 350- after the squash is done (you can add a little cinnamon while it’s boiling, drain and add the butter, apple pie spice, brown swerve and cook until it’s thicker - you will be able to tell..then top with almonds and brown serve and more butter and cook till browned..I use a little bit of a baking mix but it’s not necessary (THM baking mix Big batch: good to use in other things as well: 1 1/2 cup oat fiber, 1 1/2 cup coconut flour, 3/4 cup almond flour, 3/4 cup whey protein powder, 1/2 cup flax meal, 2 T glucomannan)..enjoy: Basically you can use any apple crisp recipe but just make substitutions for the squash,sweetener, and flours...(it’s actually pretty simple) - enjoy
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.)
“Just sift ya’ll....just do what I tell you to do.” Yes sir!!!!🥴
😜😜❤️❤️
Every time I bake I think of Wesley!! Gotta sift....”look y’all what’s left in here..” 🤣🤣💕
@@HighfalutinLowCarb what was the best banana flavoring you mentioned in this "apple" pie comparison?
You killed me with this just sift y'all just do what I tell you that's my kind of chef
Chayote squash is called Choko in Australia. They have been used for decades to plump out apple pies.
In Colombia we call them aguatillas, agua like in water because of their high liquid content.
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".
Wesley you are a born entertainer!!! Love watching you!!!
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...
You don’t know how happy this comment makes me! I can feel the skint knees and fireflies in Mason jars.
MaryMaryQuiteContrary h
Have u tried chocolate zucchini bread?? So good!!!
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!"😁
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.
Never apologize for a long video. I could watch your videos all day! And I don’t even like apple pie 😂!
Ditto. I hate apple pie and cooked apples, but that couldn't stop me from watching.
Haha!
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 :)
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.
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 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!
I couldn't click "like" fast enough when I saw the words keto and apple pie!

Wes! Or anyone else? What is you recipe for that Wendy's frosty ice.crwam you talked about a couple years ago?
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 was thinking the exact same thing. He has to update us when he puts his spin on it...... I definitely am interested in making something like this..... when I have the time 😁
I think if he cuts back on the xanthan gum it would taste better. I even think golden flaxseed would work just as good because it can be used as a thickener besides as an egg substitute.
I what I was thinking
Wondorawoman xanthan gum tastes fishy in those amounts. I would sub the chayote for the squash and keep the seasoning from the first pie, and use the gelatin. I have a fave crust re pie so now I want to make “apple” pie!
@@tracydurbin8188 dont say you have a fave crust recipe without sharing it ! Haha
I would love for you to do a third pie with your favorite crust, the chayote squash using the yellow squash recipe.
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.
Yep, I see a new Highfalutin’ Low Carb video - I give it an immediate like.
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 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!
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.
I know right? 16 serving in the pie??? Who eats a serving that small???
A 16th of a pie will be less carbs. So, my guess is they aren’t that much different in carbs count.

"Just sift yall do what I tell ya to do " 🤣🤣🤣
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 ❤️
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.
That sounds delicious! It’s definitely that time of the summer when everyone with a garden is hunting for people to give squash and zucchini to! 😜❤️
I'm with you. Homemade apple crisp was always a favorite over apple pie.
Sounds amazing! Paired with a salted caramel sauce it would be even more amazing! Maybe that should be the next bake off: a salted caramel sauce. One using Allulose and one using another sweetener.
@@HighfalutinLowCarb yes love that time of the year!
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.
I WISH you would make follow up vids to these types videos where you test the "winner" vs. your amalgamation recipes.
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.
I just tasted Jicama today and asked why no one did this. It would exchange for pear or apple so easily with very little sweetener. :D
@@shawnsisler3743 Yea I found out early on that Jicama made great "fried apples" and was thinking the same thing.
Wes, please do a low carb mashed "potato" battle!! Love your channel and energy! ❤
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.
Great tip! Thanks, Jill! 👍🏻❤️
I love this channel. Your realness and southern personality is awesome. New sub!
Thank you so much!! Welcome aboard, Sarah!
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....................
Haha! THANK YOU, Joseph. I’ve already got the whipped cream ready. Come on! ❤️🍎🍏
You never disappoint and your facial expressions and fork tapping says it all. Have a great weekend.
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!
Wes, you are adorable and thank you for all you hard work on each and every battle. We all appreciate you!
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 made an “apple” cobbler using a blend of chayote and zucchini. I infused the apple flavour with apple tea and lemon juice.
Would love an update on using the chayote squash with the first recipe!
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. 😂
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?
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'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 love that you saved the used bowl and used parchment paper to reuse on the second recipe. That how my brain works, too.
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! 🙏❤️
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
I made it also and my husband did not know it wasn't potatoes , I love it and also added hard boiled eggs.
"A few moments later..." I die every time I hear that, Wes. And I love your facial expressions! Oh man I love this channel!
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 !
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.
Wesley I just love watching u! Ur accent, your demeanour...you just make me smile!
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!
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.
Looks yummy. Would love to see an “apple” crisp!
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 could use green apple to make this possibly since green apple has a sugar lowering effect in the body.
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.
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!
I think you just proved what I have been saying for many years!
People don't know what apple pie taste like!
The taste is hidden under the Cinnamon, Sugar and Vanilla.
When, you don't have apple pie taste like apple pie. It baffles me!
And I will try it!😁
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.
Love this episode, Wesley. Glad you are honest and forthright about the end product. Keep up the good work.
Would love to see a recipe from gnomgnom. They use some really interesting ingredients to nail down classic comforts made low carb.
I’ve done a few over the years. Check out my Chocolate Chip Cookie Battle - their cookies were definitely the winner!! 🍪
Yes! I was surprised this one wasn’t in the running.
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.
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 🤣
This looks fantastic. When you experiment and come up with the best recipe, please put it online for us to try. Love your videos.❤
OMG! I just realized I was making keto recipes back in the 70's in my hippie days. Did it more because we were broke than wanting to be healthy! I used to make mock apple pe with eggplant and mock mac and cheese using eggplant. Both were so good. But this is the same hippie that made her babies popsicles using vegetable juices. Homemade and homegrown no less. LOL
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?
i just made the yellow summer squash recipe for filling. I did not make the crust. The filling is delicious, excellent, fab. I added shredded cheddar cheese to the filling and enjoyed it as is. FAB. no baking and dough making required to enjoy. I did find out that if one overheats the filling mixture, the butter will break and spread free oil. so be carefull.
I love his excitement during the taste test! Makes me want to cook it!
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.
It passes the southern pie test. Gotta try this today.
I bet this filling would be amazing in a low carb danish. 😍
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.....
Eileen Fostel Good question. I liked the first crust that was pre-baked. It held up better the next day. I also think the chayote would be amazing without all the slimy xantham gum. If you asked me right now. I’d do the first pie all the way, pre-bake the crust, use the yellow squash, and add in the final egg wash and “sugar” sprinkle. That first pie with the yellow squash was AMAZING and completely blew my mind.
@@HighfalutinLowCarb Thanks for the tips! I plan to make exactly like that! :)
@@HighfalutinLowCarb Hi, Wesley. I’m going to tackle this mashup tomorrow for desert. I’m calling it “Not Apple Pie” - clever, huh? 😉 I’m just wondering if you would still preboil the chayote first before using the yellow squash filling ingredients or treat or like the squash and simmer them in the filling’s sauce, if you were to in fact to try that combination? I’ll go ahead and will have tried it that way long before you see this and get an opportunity to reply, I am sure, but I’m curious as to your input nonetheless my friend. Thanks 🥰
I had never heard of chayote squash. I am pleased that you showed them. In Australia we call them chokes.
Glad to help! Apparently also called “mirliton” in other places!
@@HighfalutinLowCarb Ah. I wondered what a mirliton was! thanks!
I remember experimenting with chayote "apple" pie, and I used that expensive apple flavoring. My son, who isn't a low carber, tried it. After a two second pause, he said, "Oh no. It tastes like apple flavored potatoes." I will definitely try the summer squash one next time.
would love to see a follow up with any changes/mixtures of the recipes that you mentioned or from comments that you think make sense.
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!
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 😊
It's regular yellow summer squash - NOT zucchini. Just look for "yellow squash" or "crookneck squash" in the grocery store. It'll be right beside the zucchini.
Your videos just make me smile!
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.
Literally just got done making the Radish “potato” salad from your last video and sat down and saw you just posted this. Dang... now I’m gonna have to try this squash apple pie 😂 BTW, you are totes adorbs. 😘
Haha! Thank you, Becky! Hope you enjoy the radish salad. It’ll be even better tomorrow after it sits in the fridge! Thanks for watching and the sweet comment! ❤️🙂
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.
The Chayote squash version works out to about 5 net carbs per slice when it is also divided into 12 servings, and the yellow squash version works out to 6 net cabs per slice with 16 slices.
Please, PLEASE do a 2nd episode! Highfalutin' remix using the Chayote in place of the summer squash. Great episode!
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.
Chayote squash can be made both sweet and savory. I can usually find them at Walmart and at Winn-Dixie. I've used them for "Apple" Pie, but i have a friend that fries them with ground beef and makes a Cuban style dish. When I make my "Apple" Pie I use One On One Apple Pie Flavoring and 1 1/2 tsp Konjac Flour Glucomanna to thicken it. I also use half swerve and half brown swerve.
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!
Does anyone else immediately skip to the last 10 minutes of these videos? Lol
I like the bake-off concept, but I just wanna know what one to make. With little extra time in my schedule, watching a 30-40 min show is a no-go for me. Great channel though.
I do exactly that.
Wes, love your battles, hint: when rolling out pie crust on parchment,lift off one side,then put top piece and flip over,and lift other side, now usually it makes it much easier in pie making,even with regular flour crust or even with homemade tortillas
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!
I NEED a shirt that says "Just Sift Y'all!" - I am serious! - Love you!
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.
Yes use the chayote in place if the yellow squash but everything the same as the first pie. I bet it’s great
