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.

- Yield: 6 servings 1x
Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 6 Eggs
- 1/3 cup butter, melted
- 1/2 cup coconut flour
- 1/2 Teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 Teaspoon salt
- 1/2 Teaspoon sage
- 1/4 Teaspoon thyme
- 2 Teaspoons xanthan gum or guar gum (the rolls will be more grainy if you leave this out)
- 1/3 cup diced tart apples, cut from near the skin, including skin (Granny Smith, Winesap or Empire will all be great for this)
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.
