Ingredients

• 250 grams All-purpose flour
• 120 grams Coconut oil (solid)
• 60 ml Cold water
• 1 pinch Salt
• 3 medium Granny Smith apples
• 50 grams Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 20 ml Almond milk
• 10 grams Optional: Powdered sugar for dusting

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, mix the all-purpose flour and a pinch of salt. Add the solid coconut oil and use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 2

Gradually add cold water, mixing with a fork until the dough comes together. Form the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 3

Meanwhile, peel, core, and dice the apples into small cubes. Place them in a medium saucepan over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, lemon juice, and vanilla extract to the saucepan with the apples. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the apples have softened slightly.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with a tablespoon of water to create a slurry. Add this to the apple mixture, stirring constantly until thickened. Remove from heat and let it cool.

Step 6

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 7

Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface to a thickness of about 3mm (1/8 inch). Cut into 8 squares.

Step 8

Place a spoonful of the apple filling in the center of each dough square.

Step 9

Brush the edges of the dough with almond milk, then fold one corner over to the opposite corner to form a triangle. Press the edges together with a fork to seal.

Step 10

Place the Apfeltaschen on the prepared baking sheet and brush the tops with a little more almond milk.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.

Step 12

Allow to cool slightly on a wire rack, then dust with powdered sugar if desired before serving.
