Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, cold
- 0.75 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup unsweetened apple sauce
- 2 cups frozen mixed berries
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt.
Cut the cold butter into small pieces and add it to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the Greek yogurt and vanilla extract to form a dough. Be careful not to overwork the dough.
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate while you prepare the jam.
In a medium saucepan, combine the unsweetened apple sauce and frozen mixed berries. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the berries break down, about 10 minutes.
Add the chia seeds to the berry mixture and stir well. Continue to cook for another 5 minutes, until the jam thickens.
Remove from heat and let the jam cool slightly.
Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/8 inch thickness and use a pastry cutter or knife to cut into squares, roughly 4 inches each.
Place about 1 tablespoon of the berry jam in the center of each square.
Fold the dough over diagonally to form a triangle and press the edges with a fork to seal.
Place filled pastries on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
Allow to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy your sugar-free jam-filled pastries warm or at room temperature.
