Low-Carb, Gluten-Free Apple Sage and Thyme Rolls Recipe

Most people will pair apples with cinnamon. But in the Alsace-Lorraine region between France and Germany, a common fall dish involves stuffing a bird with apples, pears, onions, and herbs. I’ve translated some of these flavors into an unusually light dinner roll that will go nicely with your Thanksgiving dinner.

Low-Carb, Gluten-Free Apple Sage & Thyme Rolls Recipe

Author: Tracey Rollison
Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Scale

6 Eggs
⅓ Cup butter, melted
½ Cup coconut flour
½ Teaspoon baking powder
½ Teaspoon salt
½ Teaspoon sage
¼ Teaspoon thyme
2 Teaspoons xanthan gum or guar gum (the rolls will be more grainy if you leave this out)
⅓ Cup diced tart apples, cut from near the skin, including skin (Granny Smith, Winesap or Empire will all be great for this)

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F.
Melt the butter and dice the apple. The skin will give the rolls a shot of color and flavor, as well as keeping the pieces together. Cutting them into small dice makes more pieces to scatter the apple flavor throughout the rolls.
Mix together the eggs, butter, spices, and salt.
Add in coconut flour, baking powder, and xanthan or guar gum.
Finally, stir in the diced apples by hand. The batter will be a bit dry, but it’s supposed to be.
Make dough into 5 portions (or more or less if you want them larger or smaller). Roll one portion into a ball, and put on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Finish out the rest of the dough this way.
Bake your rolls in the oven at 400°F for 17-22 minutes.
Cool slightly before serving, especially if you want to cut them in half.

Low Carb Menu Planning 101: Part 2

One of my earliest memories is of my mother planning menus. She'd sit down with the sales circulars from the nearby groceries and see what was on sale, chiefly checking to see what meats were cheap. Sometimes this meant we got something great like her Swedish meatballs, chicken teriyaki, or even steaks. Sometimes it meant we were stuck eating fish balls, or An Experiment Whose Name Must Not Be Mentioned.
