Ingredients
- 250 grams Whole wheat puff pastry
- 100 grams Ground hazelnuts
- 50 grams Unsweetened applesauce
- 30 grams Honey
- 20 grams Low fat natural yogurt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 1 large Egg whites
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, combine the ground hazelnuts, unsweetened applesauce, honey, low fat natural yogurt, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Mix well to create a smooth and slightly sticky nut filling.
Step 3
Roll out the whole wheat puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to a thickness of about 3 millimeters.
Step 4
Cut the rolled-out pastry into equal triangles, with the base of each triangle about 7 centimeters wide.
Step 5
Place a heaped teaspoon of the nut filling at the base of each triangle.
Step 6
Gently roll each triangle from the base towards the tip to form a crescent shape. Ensure the tip of the triangle is tucked underneath to prevent unrolling during baking.
Step 7
Place each finished crescent onto the prepared baking sheet.
Step 8
In a small bowl, lightly beat the egg white and brush over the tops of the crescents to give them a nice golden shine when baked.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until the gipfeli are puffed and golden brown.
Step 10
Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack before serving.
