Ingredients

• 2 cups Almond flour
• 2 tablespoons Coconut flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1 cup Erythritol
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Butter
• 8 ounces Cream cheese
• 3 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 6 sliced Fresh apricots
• 0.5 cup Sugar-free apricot preserves

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, erythritol, and salt.

Step 3

Cut the butter into small pieces and add to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your hands to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, beat together cream cheese, 2 eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.

Step 5

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.

Step 6

On a clean surface, roll out the dough into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 7

Transfer the rolled dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Spoon the sugar-free apricot preserves down the middle of the rectangle.

Step 8

Arrange the sliced apricots over the preserves, slightly overlapping them.

Step 9

Fold the sides of the dough over the filling, overlapping them slightly in the center to form a braid pattern. Pinch the ends to seal.

Step 10

Beat the remaining egg in a small bowl and brush over the pastry to give it a golden finish.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden and firm to the touch.

Step 12

Let the Danish cool slightly before slicing and serving.
