Ingredients used

1 cup whole wheat flour
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
1 tbsp lemon juice

1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup almond flour
1/2 tsp nutmeg

1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
1/4 cup Greek yogurt
1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

1/4 cup protein powder (vanilla flavor)
2 medium apples, peeled and diced

Preparation method

In a large bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, almond flour, melted coconut oil, Greek yogurt, protein powder, and honey. Mix until a dough forms. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

In another bowl, mix the diced apples with cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Set aside to let the flavors meld.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the dough on a floured surface and cut into squares. Place a spoonful of the apple mixture in the center of each square, fold over to form triangles, and seal the edges with a fork. Brush with beaten egg.
