Ingredients

• 2 cups Almond flour
• 0.25 cup Coconut flour
• 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, cold
• 2 ounces Cream cheese, cold
• 1 large Egg
• 1 medium Apple, peeled, cored, and diced
• 2 tablespoons Granulated erythritol sweetener
• 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
• 1 serving Egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 tbsp water)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

Add cold, diced butter and cream cheese to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or fork to cut in the butter and cream cheese until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Add the large egg to the mixture and stir until a dough forms. Shape the dough into a disc, wrap it in plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes.

Step 5

While the dough chills, in a small saucepan over medium heat, combine diced apple, erythritol sweetener, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apple is softened. Remove from heat and let cool.

Step 6

Remove the chilled dough from the refrigerator. Place it between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out to approximately 1/8-inch thickness.

Step 7

Cut the rolled-out dough into 4x4 inch squares.

Step 8

Place a tablespoon of the apple filling in the center of each dough square.

Step 9

Fold the squares over to form triangles and seal the edges by pressing with a fork.

Step 10

Transfer the turnovers to the prepared baking sheet and brush with egg wash.

Step 11

Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the turnovers are golden brown.

Step 12

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your low carb apple turnovers warm or at room temperature.
