Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, salt, and xanthan gum.
In a separate bowl, microwave the mozzarella and cream cheese until melted (about 1-2 minutes) and mix well.
Add the melted cheese mixture to the dry ingredients, along with the egg and vanilla extract. Mix until a dough forms.
Roll the dough between two pieces of parchment paper until it's about 1/4 inch thick.
Cut the dough into triangles, similar to traditional croissant shapes.
Place a small spoonful of sugar-free apricot preserves at the wider end of each triangle.
Gently roll each triangle from the wide end to the tip to form a croissant shape.
Place the rolled croissants on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the tops with melted butter for a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the croissants are golden brown.
Allow the croissants to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your keto apricot croissants warm.
