I love the early Fall. The sun still warms but there’s a certain freshness that reminds me of Spring. But Spring doesn’t bring a bounty of fruit to be gathered and enjoyed. Apples, pears, blackberries, blueberries, rhubarb all come into season around now. Pumpkins and maple syrup will follow.
And you need not miss out if you’re sticking to a low-carb or keto diet.
Sure, all fruit contains sugar (and too much fructose should definitely be avoided), but most berries are light on the carbs, so they appear often in these recipes. There are also good substitutes for apples to try out.
So here they are, the 30 best easy keto dessert recipes we’ve found for Fall and Winter 2022.
Check out our new piece on 10 classic alpine winter recipes, perfect luxurious winter warmers.
Easy Keto Desserts with Apples & Pears
Keto Apple Pie Filling with Eggplant
Apples are in no way keto-friendly. They are, after all, mainly water, sugar and a little fibre. So low-carb pioneers have had to look for alternatives and Two Sleevers have produced this recipe with eggplant that tastes exactly like apple pie. Quick and easy to make too!

The Best Keto Apple Pie with Chayote
But eggplant is not the only option. There’s another low-carb apple substitute you could use, chayote. We may have to do a whole post on chayote recipes soon on this evidence.

Keto Apple Pie Fat Bombs
This easy keto dessert recipe DOES use real apple, but only a small amount (about half an apple) to keep the carb count sensible. This should not kick you out of ketosis if you can resist eating all you make. Which could be tough, as these look delicious.

Low-Carb Pear Custard Pie
We have a couple of pear trees in our garden and they’ve produced a record crop this year. So we’re thinking about how best to use them. This recipe makes great use of pears by combining with rich, sugar-free vanilla custard.

Keto Custard “Apple” Tart
If you don’t have pears, here’s another custard tart that uses chayote in place of apple. It’s a version of the classic Normandy apple tart with roasted sliced almonds sprinkled on top. Bon appétit!

Keto Blueberry Dessert Recipes
Blueberries are low in sugar but high in powerful antioxidants. They’ve even been linked to improved brain health. They’re reliable keto go-to for many of us.
Keto Blueberry French Toast Casserole
OK, this is more of a breakfast or brunch but there’s nothing to say you can’t enjoy seasonal fruits to start your day. This recipe is a little more complicated as you’ll need to have made the Keto Blueberry Bread to toast first (don’t worry, the recipe for that is included). But boy, it’s worth it.
From: Kasey Trenum
Keto Triple Berry Clafoutis
This is a very highly-rated recipe that is based on batter that makes it something like a pancake or soufflé. Almond flour, coconut milk an whatever berries you’ve been able to collect make for a very attractive dessert to share with friends and family.

Keto Maple Syrup Recipes
Keto Maple & Bacon Cupcakes
Salty and sweet is an irresistible combination, especially if the carb count is microscopic, like it is here. An excellent easy keto dessert recipe.

From: Joy Filled Eats
Maple Pecan Keto Cheesecake Bars
Doesn’t look like these could possibly be grain and sugar-free, but they are! Maple extract lends these bars their almost addictive flavor and there’s a good dose of healthy fats.
From: Spinach Tiger
Keto Maple Bacon Crack
I think it would be possible to live on these and nothing else. Yup, that good. They use a fathead style mozzarella dough with a sweetener and maple extract for flavor.

Keto Pumpkin Spice Recipes
Pumpkin Spice & Bourbon Keto Crème brûlée
Crème brûlée means “scorched cream” in French and it’s always been one of our favorites here at Sortating. This recipe takes it to a whole ‘nother level. A dash of Bourbon and pumpkin spice gives the classic French dessert an indulgent Fall and Holidays spin.

From: Life Made Sweeter
The Best Keto Pumpkin Spice Cookies
Perhaps the easiest of all the recipes here, all the ingredients are mixed in one bowl, divided and baked for 20-30 minutes. The aroma when they’re cooking is magical and they taste super too.
From: Easy Living Today
Decadent Halloween Brownie Cheesecake
This wonderful recipe will see you creating a fudgey, chocolatey cheesecake par excellence. The original ingredients include vanilla extract in the cream cheese layer but I don’t see why you couldn’t use a little pumpkin spice instead.

Keto Rhubarb Recipes
Keto Rhubarb Coffee Cake
Rhubarb. Is it a fruit? Not really. Is it a vegetable? Yes, but an oddly sweet one. Is it keto-friendly? Yes again and with a unique flavor. Just don’t eat the leaves. They contain toxic levels of oxalic acid.
From: All Day I Dream About Food
Low Carb & Gluten-Free Rhubarb Crumble
Most of the rhubarb I ate as a kid came served in a crumble with lashings of custard. So I had to include a rhubarb crumble recipe and this is a great sugar-free version. And if you need custard, we recommend a keto one below.

Low-Carb Plum Recipes
Vienna Plum Cake
Vienna in the Fall is a great place to visit. Beer festivals, sturmwein, sausages and delicious cakes like this one. They’re never low carb, quite the reverse, but we have you covered here.
From: I Breathe I’m Hungry
Keto Plum Pie
This recipe pointed out something I did not know: plums contain fewer grams of carbs per serving than blueberries! Slightly less guilt about eating so many straight from the tree this Fall… And for those plums that do make it all the way to the kitchen, here’s a very nice keto plum pie recipe.
From: Family on Keto
Homemade Low-Carb Cinnamon Plum Jam
Our garden produced a prodigious number of beautifully sun-ripened plums this year. Last year, nada. So we’re looking for ways to store the surplus and jam is a great way to do so. Especially low-carb jam.
