Ingredients Method

Ingredients

  

For the pastry:

• 6 tablespoon almond flour
• 1 tablespoon coconut flour
• 4 teaspoon coconut oil melted
• 4 teaspoon water

For the cherry filling:

• ½ cup cherries fresh or frozen
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup
• ½ tablespoon arrowroot flour can sub tapioca flour
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• ¼ teaspoon almond extract

Optional icing (not paleo):

• ¼ cup powdered sugar
• water to thin

Optional paleo icing:

• 2 tablespoon coconut butter melted
• 1 teaspoon maple syrup

Method

 

1. Preheat oven to 350℉ and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a bowl, combine all of the pastry ingredients until you have a dough. Split the dough in half and begin flattening one half of the dough into an even rectangle. On a separate sheet of parchment paper, flatten the other half of the dough into a rectangle the same shape and size as the one you just created.
3. For the filling, you can use a storebought cherry jam/preserves or make one like I did as follows. Add your cherries to a small saucepan over medium-low heat and cook down for a few minutes. Mash them up a bit. Mix in your maple syrup and extracts. Mix in the arrowroot flour and turn the heat up while continuously stirring. Your mixture should begin to thicken. Once you have a consistency you like, remove from the heat.
4. Add your cherry filling to the first rectangle you created. Carefully place the other rectangle of dough on top of the filling to completely cover it. Pinch the edges together using a fork.
5. Bake for about 17-19 minutes or until lightly browned. Let cool before adding your icing of choice. Enjoy!
