Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Almond flour
• 0.25 cup Coconut flour
• 0.25 cup Granulated erythritol
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 1 large Egg
• 2 tablespoons Ice water
• 1.5 cups Apple, peeled and diced
• 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 large Egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, and erythritol. Mix well.

Step 3

Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your hands, blend the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

In the same mixing bowl, beat in the egg and add the ice water. Stir until the dough begins to come together. Form it into a ball, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 5

While the dough chills, prepare the filling. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the diced apple, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Mix until the apples are evenly coated.

Step 6

Remove the dough from the refrigerator and divide it into six equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball, then flatten into a disc on a lightly floured surface.

Step 7

Spoon about two tablespoons of the apple filling onto one half of each disc, leaving a border around the edges.

Step 8

Fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape, and seal the edges by pressing with a fork.

Step 9

Place the hand pies on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with the beaten egg wash for a golden finish.

Step 10

Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the pies are golden brown and the filling is bubbly.

Step 11

Allow the hand pies to cool before serving. Enjoy your delicious low carb apple hand pies!
