Ingredients

• 2 cups Almond flour
• 1 tablespoon Coconut flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 2 cups Mozzarella cheese (shredded)
• 2 ounces Cream cheese
• 1 large Egg
• 2 tablespoons Stevia sweetener
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 0.5 peeled, cored, and thinly sliced Small Granny Smith apple
• 0.5 teaspoon Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Psyllium husk powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave on high for about 1 minute until the cheese is fully melted. Stir the mixture until smooth.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, mix the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, psyllium husk powder, and salt. Stir well to combine.

Step 4

Beat the egg and add it to the cheese mixture along with the vanilla extract. Mix well.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the cheese mixture, stirring continuously until a dough forms.

Step 6

Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out into a rectangular shape about 16x8 inches.

Step 7

In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the sliced apple, cinnamon, stevia sweetener, and lemon juice. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the apples are tender.

Step 8

Cut the dough into 8 triangles. Place a small spoonful of the apple mixture at the wide end of each triangle.

Step 9

Starting at the wide end, gently roll up each triangle into a croissant shape.

Step 10

Place the croissants on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.

Step 11

Allow them to cool slightly before serving.
