Why I Love This Recipe

Apricots are a great source of vitamin A, fiber, and antioxidants, making this filling both delicious and nutritious!


Ingredients You'll Need

1 cup dried apricots (preferably unsweetened)
1 cup water
2 tbsp powdered erythritol or your favorite diabetic-friendly sweetener (adjust to taste)
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp cinnamon (optional, for a festive touch)
1/4 tsp xanthan gum or 1 tsp cornstarch (for thickening, optional)


Directions

Place the dried apricots in a small saucepan with 1 cup of water. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the apricots are soft and most of the water has been absorbed.


Allow the apricots to cool slightly, then blend them in a food processor or blender until smooth. If it's too thick, add a splash of water to reach a spreadable consistency.


Stir in the erythritol, vanilla extract, and cinnamon (if using). Taste and adjust sweetness as needed.


If you'd like the filling thicker to prevent spillage, return the mixture to the saucepan on low heat, sprinkle in the xanthan gum or cornstarch, and stir continuously for 1-2 minutes until it thickens.


Let the apricot filling cool completely before spreading it onto your dough for Christmas rolls.
