Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Almond flour
- 0.5 cups Coconut flour
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 0.5 teaspoons Xanthan gum
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 cups Ice water
- 2 tablespoons Golden erythritol
- 2 Medium green apples, peeled, cored, and chopped
- 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 Egg, beaten, for egg wash
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a food processor, combine almond flour, coconut flour, xanthan gum, and salt. Pulse to mix.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry mixture and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Slowly add ice water to the mixture, one tablespoon at a time, and pulse until the dough comes together.
Remove the dough from the processor, form it into a ball, and wrap it in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the chopped apples and golden erythritol. Cook until the apples are slightly softened, about 5 minutes.
Add ground cinnamon and vanilla extract to the saucepan, stirring to combine. Cook for an additional 3 minutes, then remove from heat and let cool.
Roll out the chilled dough between two sheets of parchment paper to about 1/8 inch thick.
Cut the dough into 6 circles using a 4-inch round cutter. Re-roll scraps as needed.
Place a spoonful of the apple filling on one half of each dough circle, leaving a border.
Fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape and press the edges to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges for a tight seal.
Transfer the turnovers to the prepared baking sheet and lightly brush the tops with the beaten egg.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your low-carb chausson aux pommes!
