• Sweetener equivalent to 1/3 cup sugar
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 medium apple, finely chopped

Topping:
• Granulated sweetener equivalent to 2 tsp sugar
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tbsp melted butter

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 325F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, sweetener, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Stir in chopped apple. Add eggs, butter, cream and apple extract and stir until dough comes together.
3. Divide dough into two equal portions and pat into two disks, about 1 inch thick and 7 to 8 inches in diameter.
