Ingredients

• 2 cups almond flour
• 0.5 cup coconut flour
• 0.25 cup granulated erythritol
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 1 unit large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup sugar-free mixed berry preserves
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 0 coconut oil for frying

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a separate small bowl, beat the egg and mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

Pour the egg mixture into the flour-butter mixture and combine until the dough forms. If the dough is too dry, add a tablespoon of cold water at a time until it holds together.

Step 5

Form the dough into a disc, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes.

Step 6

In a small saucepan, mix the sugar-free mixed berry preserves with lemon juice and warm over low heat until loosened. Set aside to cool.

Step 7

Once the dough is chilled, roll it out between two sheets of parchment paper until it's about 1/8-inch thick.

Step 8

Using a round cookie cutter or a bowl, cut out circles from the dough, about 4-5 inches in diameter.

Step 9

Place a tablespoon of the berry preserve mixture in the center of each dough circle.

Step 10

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

Step 11

In a large skillet, heat enough coconut oil over medium-high heat to submerge half the height of the pies.

Step 12

Carefully fry each pie for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Adjust heat as needed to prevent burning.

Step 13

Remove the pies from the oil and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.

Step 14

Allow the pies to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
