Hi Mayra~Yes, I have eaten a chayote before & loved it so much that I researched their growing requirements. I found out that I may grow them here in Central Florida. SOOO... I quickly planted one in a large pot & placed that in the garden bed near my back door. The next day, my darling Husky is happily chewing something while out for her morning constitutional & I panicked thinking she's eating something dangerous. I run over to find she's crunching on my now uprooted chayote! Well, I let her finish it (except the pit) while scolding her for "stealing" from my garden. I'm trying again but putting the pot on a table! It's always something!😝 BTW, I love your videos & recipes. Thanks for giving us JOY & INSPIRATION to continue a low-carb lifestyle.

They're very easy to grow. In my country, we call them 'centinaria' because it gives you 'hundreds' of fruit. Not really, but they are very prolific if the weather conditions are favourable.

@marcpena26610 ай бұрын
Just made this and boy is it delicious! Super easy to make and really quick prep. The texture of the choyote is really close to what apple pie filling and a very subtle taste of the melon comes through. The crust/crumble really brings it full circle to taste really close to normal apple pie. Would rate this recipe 10/10!

I made chayote apple crisp bake for Thanksgiving last year or year before, I can't remember but everyone even the sugar eaters loved it. It's all about the spice and the consistency of the chayote. So tasty.

I used to grow those and I was thinking of growing them again - and then this turned up - so I definitely am going to grow it again, now that I know how to use it as a substitute for apples.

I was cooking this in a saucepan for a very long time. I make lots of mug cakes. I think that rather than 90 seconds, it was almost 90 minutes. Perhaps par boiling the chayote to tenderize it? It was hard, but tasty. I’ll boil it next time.

Everything I've ever done with almond flour comes out weirdly moist and blech. Do you have a recommendation for a brand or anything that might help it from being weirdly moist and grainy?
