Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 120 grams Coconut oil (solid)
- 60 ml Cold water
- 1 pinch Salt
- 3 medium Granny Smith apples
- 50 grams Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 20 ml Almond milk
- 10 grams Optional: Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
In a large bowl, mix the all-purpose flour and a pinch of salt. Add the solid coconut oil and use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add cold water, mixing with a fork until the dough comes together. Form the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, peel, core, and dice the apples into small cubes. Place them in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
Add the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, lemon juice, and vanilla extract to the saucepan with the apples. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the apples have softened slightly.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with a tablespoon of water to create a slurry. Add this to the apple mixture, stirring constantly until thickened. Remove from heat and let it cool.
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface to a thickness of about 3mm (1/8 inch). Cut into 8 squares.
Place a spoonful of the apple filling in the center of each dough square.
Brush the edges of the dough with almond milk, then fold one corner over to the opposite corner to form a triangle. Press the edges together with a fork to seal.
Place the Apfeltaschen on the prepared baking sheet and brush the tops with a little more almond milk.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
Allow to cool slightly on a wire rack, then dust with powdered sugar if desired before serving.
