They’re the sneaky, delicious answer to that apple pie craving that usually derails diets, packed with flavor and healthy fats to keep you satisfied.
Serving: 12 | Pre Time: 15 minutes | Cooking Time: 0 minutes
Ingredients
For the Filling:
– 1 medium apple, peeled, cored, and finely diced (about 1 cup)

Instructions
1. In a small skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tbsp unsalted butter.
2. Add 1 cup finely diced apple to the skillet and cook, stirring frequently, for 5-7 minutes until the apple pieces are soft and slightly translucent. Tip: Keep the heat at medium to prevent the butter from burning while the apples soften.
3. Stir in 1 tsp ground cinnamon, 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg, and 2 tbsp powdered erythritol into the cooked apples. Cook for 1 more minute, then remove from heat and set aside to cool completely.
4. In a medium mixing bowl, combine 1 cup almond flour, 1/2 cup softened coconut oil, 1/4 cup creamy almond butter, 1/4 cup powdered erythritol, 1 tsp vanilla extract, and 1/4 tsp salt.
5. Use a fork or your hands to mix the ingredients until a uniform, slightly crumbly dough forms. Tip: If the dough feels too dry, add 1 more tbsp of softened coconut oil; if too wet, add 1 more tbsp of almond flour.
6. Line a mini muffin tin with 12 paper liners.
7. Divide the dough into 12 equal portions. Press each portion into the bottom and up the sides of a muffin liner to form a small cup.
8. Spoon the cooled apple filling evenly into each dough cup, pressing it down gently.
9. Refrigerate the fat bombs for at least 2 hours, or until firm. Tip: For a quicker set, place them in the freezer for 30 minutes, but let them sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before serving to soften slightly.

Perfectly portable and delightfully decadent, these fat bombs offer a soft, melt-in-your-mouth crust with a warm, spiced apple center that mimics the cozy essence of pie.
