Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 g all-purpose flour
- 125 g vegan margarine
- 80 ml cold water
- 50 g granulated sugar
- 1 pinch salt
- 3 medium apples
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp cinnamon powder
- 50 g raisins
- 2 tbsp almond milk
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the flour, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and a pinch of salt. Add the vegan margarine and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to incorporate it into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add the cold water gradually and mix until it forms a dough. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel, core, and chop the apples into small pieces. In a mixing bowl, toss the apples with lemon juice, the remaining sugar, cinnamon, and raisins.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pastry dough to about 3 mm thickness and cut it into rectangles approximately 12x15 cm in size.
Place a spoonful of the apple mixture on one half of each rectangle, leaving a border. Brush the edges with almond milk, fold over the dough to enclose the filling, and press down the edges with a fork to seal.
Place the turnovers on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with almond milk and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
Allow the turnovers to cool on a wire rack. Once cooled, dust with powdered sugar before serving.
