Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 sheets dairy-free puff pastry
- 3 medium apples
- 50 grams brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons dairy-free milk
- 1 tablespoon sugar (for sprinkling)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel, core, and dice the apples into small pieces.
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the apples, brown sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract.
Cook the mixture for 10 minutes or until the apples are soft, stirring occasionally.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry.
Add the cornstarch slurry to the apple mixture and cook for another 2 minutes, allowing it to thicken.
Remove the apple filling from the heat and let it cool slightly.
Roll out the dairy-free puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface to about 3mm thickness.
Cut the pastry into 6 large squares or circles.
Place a generous spoonful of the apple filling onto one half of each pastry piece, leaving a border around the edges.
Fold the pastry over to enclose the filling, creating a half-moon shape. Press the edges together and crimp with a fork to seal.
Transfer the pastries to the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the tops with dairy-free milk and sprinkle with sugar.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and puffed.
Allow to cool slightly before serving warm or at room temperature.
