Ingredients

• 1 sheet Vegan puff pastry
• 0.5 cup Apricot jam
• 2 tablespoons Almond milk
• 1 tablespoon Maple syrup
• 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup Powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Sliced almonds

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Unroll the vegan puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Cut it into six equal rectangles.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix the apricot jam with the cornstarch until well combined.

Step 4

Place about 1-2 tablespoons of the apricot mixture in the center of each pastry rectangle.

Step 5

Fold the corners of each rectangle towards the center, pinching them slightly to create an open envelope shape.

Step 6

Transfer the danishes to the prepared baking sheet.

Step 7

In another small bowl, stir together almond milk and maple syrup. Brush this mixture over the edges of each pastry.

Step 8

Bake for 18-20 minutes or until the puff pastry is golden and puffed.

Step 9

While the danishes bake, prepare the icing by mixing the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and just enough almond milk to achieve a drizzle consistency.

Step 10

Once baked, remove the danishes from the oven and let them cool slightly on a rack.

Step 11

Drizzle the icing over the danishes and sprinkle with sliced almonds before serving.
