Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
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.
Roll out the whole wheat puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to a thickness of about 3 millimeters.
Cut the rolled-out pastry into equal triangles, with the base of each triangle about 7 centimeters wide.
Place a heaped teaspoon of the nut filling at the base of each triangle.
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.
Place each finished crescent onto the prepared baking sheet.
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.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until the gipfeli are puffed and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack before serving.
