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)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Peel, core, and dice the apples into small pieces.

Step 3

In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the apples, brown sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract.

Step 4

Cook the mixture for 10 minutes or until the apples are soft, stirring occasionally.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry.

Step 6

Add the cornstarch slurry to the apple mixture and cook for another 2 minutes, allowing it to thicken.

Step 7

Remove the apple filling from the heat and let it cool slightly.

Step 8

Roll out the dairy-free puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface to about 3mm thickness.

Step 9

Cut the pastry into 6 large squares or circles.

Step 10

Place a generous spoonful of the apple filling onto one half of each pastry piece, leaving a border around the edges.

Step 11

Fold the pastry over to enclose the filling, creating a half-moon shape. Press the edges together and crimp with a fork to seal.

Step 12

Transfer the pastries to the prepared baking sheet.

Step 13

Brush the tops with dairy-free milk and sprinkle with sugar.

Step 14

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