Yield: 8
Ingredients
Crust
1 ¼ cups Miracle Mix
½ tsp. xanthan gum or glucomannan
¼ tsp. sea salt
7 Tbsp. grass-fed butter
2 oz. whole organic cream cheese (or Kite Hill cream cheese)
1 large pastured egg
15 drops stevia (to taste)
½ Tbsp. organic apple cider vinegar
Filling
2 medium organic zucchini
1 Tbsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. fresh nutmeg
4 Tbsp. grass-fed butter
3 Tbsp. lemon juice
8 Tbsp. Keto Sweet
Egg Wash
1 large pastured egg yolk
2 tsp. water
Instructions
1. Make the crust. Add the Miracle Mix, xanthan gum, and sea salt to a food processor. Pulse to combine.
2. Add the 7 Tbsp. cold butter and cream cheese. Pulse for 3 seconds. Add one egg, stevia and vinegar and pulse just until it forms a dough ball (do not over-process).
3. Place dough on a piece of cling wrap and wrap tightly. Refrigerate.
4. While the dough sets, make the cinnamon-apple filling. Peel the zucchini, cut into quarters legthwise and de-seed. Dice zucchini into 1/2 inch pieces.
5. In a safe skillet, add 4 Tbsp. butter. Add the diced zucchini, remaining Keto Sweet, cinnamon, nutmeg and lemon juice. Simmer for 15 minutes or until tender.
6. reheat oven to 375 F. Remove dough from refrigerator. Place dough between two pieces of greased parchment paper and roll out to roughly 1/4 inch thickness. Use a cookie cutter to cut out 16 circles. If dough becomes too soft and difficult to work with, transfer the baking sheet to the freezer for a few minutes.
7. Place half of the dough rounds on a large, greased baking sheet. Scoop approximately 2 Tbsp. of dough onto each circle. Top with another dough round and use a fork to go around the outer rim, pressing to seal.
8. Make the egg wash by combining egg yolk with 2 tsp. water. Brush the outside of the hand pies with egg wash, sprinkle with additional Keto Sweet and transfer to the oven.
9. Bake 15-17 minutes to golden.
10. Let cool on the pan for 10 minutes to set, then serve.
