Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 1 tablespoon Coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 2 cups Mozzarella cheese (shredded)
- 2 ounces Cream cheese
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Stevia sweetener
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 0.5 peeled, cored, and thinly sliced Small Granny Smith apple
- 0.5 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Psyllium husk powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave on high for about 1 minute until the cheese is fully melted. Stir the mixture until smooth.
In a separate bowl, mix the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, psyllium husk powder, and salt. Stir well to combine.
Beat the egg and add it to the cheese mixture along with the vanilla extract. Mix well.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the cheese mixture, stirring continuously until a dough forms.
Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out into a rectangular shape about 16x8 inches.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the sliced apple, cinnamon, stevia sweetener, and lemon juice. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the apples are tender.
Cut the dough into 8 triangles. Place a small spoonful of the apple mixture at the wide end of each triangle.
Starting at the wide end, gently roll up each triangle into a croissant shape.
Place the croissants on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
Allow them to cool slightly before serving.
