Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking dish with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, tapioca flour, coconut flour, baking soda, and sea salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together melted coconut oil, honey, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms. Refrigerate the dough for 10-15 minutes to make it easier to handle.
While the dough is chilling, peel and core the apples.
In a small bowl, mix ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and raisins (if using).
Divide the dough into four equal portions. Roll each piece into a circle large enough to wrap around an apple.
Sprinkle a bit of the cinnamon mixture inside each apple and then fill with chopped nuts and raisins if desired.
Place an apple in the center of each dough circle, wrap the dough around the apple, and press to seal any seams.
Place the wrapped apples in the prepared baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, or until the dough is lightly golden and firm to the touch.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Paleo Classic Apple Dumplings warm.
