Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, and 1/4 cup erythritol sweetener.
Melt the butter in the microwave or on the stovetop. Allow it to cool slightly, then add it to the dry mixture along with the eggs and vanilla extract. Mix until a dough forms.
In a small bowl, mix the heavy cream with the cinnamon and 2 tablespoons of erythritol. Set aside.
Lay out a sheet of parchment paper and roll the dough into a rectangle roughly 12x8 inches.
Brush the entire surface of the dough rectangle with the cinnamon cream mixture preparing earlier.
Drizzle sugar-free maple syrup evenly over the dough, then sprinkle with raisins if using.
Starting from the long end, carefully roll up the dough into a log, then slice into 8 even pieces.
Place each piece on the prepared baking sheet, cut side up.
Gently flatten each piece slightly with your palm and bake for 18-22 minutes, or until lightly golden.
Once baked, remove from the oven and let them cool slightly.
While the pastries cool, warm the sugar-free apricot jam until just melted and brush over the top of each pain au raisin for a glossy finish.
