Ingredients

• 4 large organic golden delicious apples (you can also use any other variety of sweet apples, such as honeycrisp or gala)
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 3 tablespoons water
• 3 cups raw almond flour
• 1 tablespoon birch xylitol
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• ¼ teaspoon sea salt
• 2 egg whites
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 F. Lightly grease a 9-inch baking dish with coconut oil.
2. Peel, core and dice the apples. Place them in a large bowl; add the lemon juice, lemon zest and cinnamon. Toss well.
3.  Transfer the apples to a large, deep nonstick skillet. Add 3 tablespoons of water and cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes, until the apples are tender but still hold their shape. Transfer to the prepared baking dish.
4.  In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, xylitol, baking soda and salt.
5.  In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until frothy. Add almond milk and vinegar and pour over almond flour mixture. Mix until all the ingredients are well combined, forming a soft dough.
6.  Divide the dough into 8 pieces and flatten each piece to form a biscuit, between ¼ and ½ inch thick. Arrange over the apples and bake for 35-40 minutes, until the biscuits are a light golden brown.
