Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 1 tablespoon Coconut flour
- 2 tablespoons Arrowroot starch
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 3 Medium apples
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, and arrowroot starch.
Melt the coconut oil and add it to the dry mixture along with the egg, honey, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until a dough forms.
Roll the dough between two sheets of parchment paper to about 1/8 inch thickness. Using a 4-inch round cutter, cut circles of dough. Gather any scraps, reroll and cut until you have 8 circles.
Peel and core the apples, then chop them into small pieces.
In a medium saucepan, combine apples, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until apples are softened and liquid is absorbed (about 5-7 minutes).
Place about 2 tablespoons of the apple filling onto one half of each dough circle.
Fold the dough over the filling, creating a half-moon shape, and press the edges with a fork to seal.
Place the hand pies on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
Allow hand pies to cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before serving.
