In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt.
Cut the cold unsalted butter into small cubes and add to the flour mixture.
Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, blend the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
Slowly drizzle in chilled water, mixing with a fork until the dough just holds together.
Shape the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a small bowl, mix sunflower seed butter, toasted oats, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and cinnamon to create the nut-free filling.
Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface to about 1/8-inch thick.
Cut the rolled dough into circles using a 4-inch round cutter.
Place a tablespoon of the nut-free filling in the center of each dough circle.
Fold the circles in half to form semi-circles and seal the edges by pressing with a fork.
Place the pastries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Brush the top of each pastry with the egg wash for a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the pastries are golden brown.
Cool on a wire rack before serving.
