1.5 cups Wholewheat flour
1/2 cup Amaranth flour
2 tsp Baking powder
1/4 tsp Salt Use salt if your butter is unsalted or if you're using coconut oil. Omit if using salted butter
1 tsp Cinnamon powder
1/3 cup Raw sugar You can use any sugar of your choice
1/2 cup Butter, chilled, cut into small cubes You can also use chilled coconut oil.
1/3 cup Coconut milk, full fat You can use coconut or regular cream as well
1 large Apple, peeled and finely diced
2-3 tbsp Dried cranberries, finely chopped
2-3 tbsp Walnuts, finely chopped
1-2 tsp Cinnamon sugar, for topping Optional

Preheat your oven to 200 C. Line a baking tray with baking paper or Silpat.
In a large bowl, whisk the dry ingredients - wholewheat flour, amaranth flour, cinnamon powder, baking powder, palm sugar, and salt ( if using unsalted butter/coconut oil).
Rub in the chilled cubed butter, using your fingertips or a pastry cutter, until the mixture forms large coarse crumbs.
Pour over the coconut milk and mix with a fork until the dry ingredients are just moistened. If the mixture seems too dry, add in a bit more milk.
Add in the apples, cranberries, and walnuts.
Turn the dough out onto a well-floured surface and press together gently till it forms a ball.
Press into an 8" circle and cut into 8 triangles. Gently place on the prepared tray. Brush lightly with coconut milk/cream. Sprinkle some cinnamon sugar on top, if you like.
Bake for 18-20 minutes or until lightly golden and cooked through. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes.
Drizzle over the glaze, if using. Let it set for 5- 6 minutes. Serve and enjoy!
