Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Almond flour
• 0.25 cup Coconut flour
• 0.25 cup Granulated erythritol sweetener
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 3 units Medium apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon Xanthan gum
• 0.25 cup Water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, and the granulated erythritol sweetener.

Step 3

Melt the butter in the microwave or stovetop and let it cool slightly. Add it to the flour mixture along with the egg and vanilla extract. Mix until a dough forms.

Step 4

Press the dough evenly into the prepared baking dish to form the crust. Use a fork to poke several holes over the surface to prevent bubbling.

Step 5

Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 6

In a large skillet over medium heat, add the sliced apples, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and water. Cook while stirring occasionally, until the apples are soft, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 7

Sprinkle the xanthan gum over the apple mixture and stir well to thicken slightly. Remove from heat.

Step 8

Pour the apple filling over the pre-baked crust, spreading it evenly.

Step 9

Return the baking dish to the oven and continue to bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the apple mixture is bubbly and golden.

Step 10

Allow the tart to cool in the pan before lifting it out using the parchment paper. Slice into bars and serve.
