Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mix together almond flour, coconut flour, erythritol, baking powder, and salt.
Add the melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
In a separate bowl, combine the diced apples, cinnamon, lemon juice, and walnuts.
Roll out the dough between two sheets of parchment paper to about 1/4-inch thickness.
Cut the dough into 8 squares, approximately 4x4 inches each.
Place a spoonful of the apple mixture onto the center of each dough square.
Fold one corner of the square over to the opposite corner to form a triangle, and press the edges together to seal.
Transfer each apfeltasche to the prepared baking sheet, and brush the tops with the beaten egg wash.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown and firm.
Allow to cool on a wire rack before serving.
