To make the dough:

In a large bowl, add the almond flour, coconut flour, xanthan gum, Swerve, and cinnamon. Whisk together to combine.

2

If using a food processor:

Add all dry ingredients to a food processor. Add cold butter and cold cream cheese and pulse several times to create a crumbly dough.

Without a food processor:

Use a pastry blender or a fork or your fingers to blend in cold butter and cold cream cheese into the dry ingredients until a crumbly texture forms.

3

Add in the egg and cold water, mixing until a dough ball has formed. This may separate a bit which is fine as it's a flaky crust. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and chill for 1 hour in the refrigerator.

4

Remove the dough from the fridge and roll it out between two pieces of parchment paper. For the best texture, you will want to get it as thin as you can, about 1/8th to 1/4-inch. Cut out 3 to 4-inch circles and place them on a baking sheet. If using a 3-inch circle, you'll end up with around 12 hand pies.

5

Place the baking sheet in the fridge to chill while preparing the filling.

6

To make the "fruit" filling:

Microwave the jicama for 8 to 10 minutes, until soft. Melt the butter in a saucepan over low-medium heat. Once the butter has melted, add in Swerve granular and brown Swerve, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Whisk until Swerve has dissolved, about 2 minutes.

7

Add the softened jicama, lemon juice, vanilla, and salt. Sauté over low heat with a covered lid and let simmer for 40 minutes. Jicama should be softened but will still have just a slight crunch. Stir occasionally. Once jicama is cooked, sprinkle xanthan gum over the mixture and stir to combine. Set aside to let cool.

8

To bake the hand pies:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

9

Add one large spoonful of jicama filling to a pie crust circle, about 2 tablespoons or so. Leave enough room around the edges to seal. Cover with another pie crust circle and pinch all around the sides to seal up the pie.

10

Once all pies are made, cut a small slit in the top of each to let air escape while baking. Bake for 20 minutes, until lightly browned. Let cool for a few minutes before serving.

Serve the hand pies by themselves or with your favorite keto ice cream. Enjoy!
