Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Thaw the dairy-free puff pastry according to the package instructions.
Peel, core, and thinly slice the Granny Smith apples.
In a large bowl, combine the apple slices, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Toss until the apple slices are well coated.
On a lightly floured surface, unfold the puff pastry sheet and gently roll it out to smooth any creases. Cut the sheet into 4 equal squares.
Place the puff pastry squares onto the prepared baking sheet. Evenly distribute the apple mixture onto the center of each square, leaving about a 1-inch border around the edges.
Fold the edges of each pastry square over the apple filling, pinching the corners together to form a pastry 'basket'.
Melt the coconut oil and brush it over the exposed edges of the puff pastry.
In a small bowl, mix the non-dairy milk with the powdered sugar to make a light glaze.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly, about 5 minutes.
Drizzle the glaze over the warm apple puff pastries and serve immediately.
