- This gives the cookies their soft, moist feel and serves as their base. It is ideal for keto baking because they have lots of good fats and low-carbs content. Utilize fine almond flour for optimal results.
COCONUT FLOUR:
- Coconut flour aids in absorbing more moisture and provides structure. Small amount of coconut flour is enough because coconut flour is so absorbent.
BAKING POWDER:

GROUND CINNAMON:
- Ground cinnamon provides the traditional apple fritter flavor and warmth. It goes well with apple extract for a genuine taste.
GROUND NUTMEG:
- It enhances the flavor of the spiced apple and gives depth with ground nutmeg. Don’t add too much cinnamon as small amount is enough.
UNSALTED BUTTER:
- Unsalted butter provides the richness and a soft crumb. Sweetener and softened butter mix completely, giving the dough a velvety foundation.
ERYTHRITOL:

EGGS:
- The egg gives the dough structure and holds it together. It also aids in chewiness of cookies.
VANILLA EXTRACT:

APPLE EXTRACT:
- Apple extract is essential to achieve the flavor of apple fritters without using actual apples. A tiny quantity adds a significant flavor enhancement.
