Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 0.33 cup granulated erythritol
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 0.5 cup fresh apple, peeled, cored and diced
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Cut in the cold cubed butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the granulated erythritol.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg, and then mix in the vanilla extract, unsweetened applesauce, and heavy cream.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.
Gently fold in the diced apple pieces.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and shape it into a 6-inch disk.
Cut the disk into 8 equal wedges and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each scone.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the scones to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
