Ingredients

• 2 cups Almond flour
• 1 tablespoon Coconut flour
• 2 tablespoons Arrowroot starch
• 0.25 cup Coconut oil
• 1 large Egg
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 3 Medium apples
• 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons 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, and arrowroot starch.

Step 3

Melt the coconut oil and add it to the dry mixture along with the egg, honey, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until a dough forms.

Step 4

Roll the dough between two sheets of parchment paper to about 1/8 inch thickness. Using a 4-inch round cutter, cut circles of dough. Gather any scraps, reroll and cut until you have 8 circles.

Step 5

Peel and core the apples, then chop them into small pieces.

Step 6

In a medium saucepan, combine apples, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until apples are softened and liquid is absorbed (about 5-7 minutes).

Step 7

Place about 2 tablespoons of the apple filling onto one half of each dough circle.

Step 8

Fold the dough over the filling, creating a half-moon shape, and press the edges with a fork to seal.

Step 9

Place the hand pies on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 10

Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.

Step 11

Allow hand pies to cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before serving.
