Ingredients

• 2 cups Almond flour
• 0.25 cup Coconut flour
• 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
• 2 ounces Cream cheese
• 1 large Egg
• 1 large Apple, peeled and diced
• 0.25 cup Granulated erythritol
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 Egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, mix together the almond flour, coconut flour, xanthan gum, and salt.

Step 3

In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and cream cheese together until smooth. Allow to cool slightly.

Step 4

Add the melted butter mixture to the dry ingredients along with the egg. Mix until a smooth dough forms. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 5

While the dough chills, prepare the apple filling. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the diced apple, erythritol, cinnamon, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Cook until the apples are tender, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.

Step 6

Remove the dough from the refrigerator and place it between two sheets of parchment paper. Roll out the dough to about 1/8 inch thickness.

Step 7

Cut the dough into 4 equal rectangles. Place a spoonful of the apple filling on one half of each rectangle, leaving a border around the edges.

Step 8

Fold the dough over the filling and press the edges together to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges for an extra seal.

Step 9

Carefully transfer the turnovers to the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with egg wash.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the turnovers are golden brown.

Step 11

Allow to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
