Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups Blanched almond flour
- 0.25 cups Sugar
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.33 cups Unsweetened applesauce
- 1 teaspoons Almond extract
- 0.25 cups Fat-free Greek yogurt
- 1 large Egg white
- 0.25 cups Sliced almonds
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, almond flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder. Mix well to ensure even distribution of the dry ingredients.
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the unsweetened applesauce, almond extract, Greek yogurt, and egg white until smooth and well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until a dough forms. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in a tough pastry.
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and roll it out into a rectangle about 1/4-inch thick.
Sprinkle the sliced almonds evenly over the surface of the dough.
Gently roll up the dough from the long edge to form a log, then cut the log into 8 equal pieces.
Place each piece on the prepared baking sheet, cut side up, and gently press down to flatten slightly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the pastries are golden brown and firm to the touch.
Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
