Dairy-Free Appel Flappen (Apple Turnovers)
Flaky Dutch apple turnovers, traditionally made with butter. This recipe uses vegan puff pastry and a spiced apple filling.
Ingredients
- 1 package Vegan puff pastry
- 3 Apples, peeled and diced
- 1/4 cup Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Vegan butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon Turbinado sugar (for topping)
Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.
Instructions
- 1Preheat your oven to about 205°C (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Peel and dice the 3 Apples into small, even pieces. In a medium bowl, combine the diced 3 Apples with 1/4 cup Brown sugar, 1 teaspoon Cinnamon, 1 tablespoon Lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon Cornstarch; stir well until all apple pieces are evenly coated.
- 2Carefully unroll or unfold the 1 package Vegan puff pastry onto a clean, dry work surface. Using a knife, cut the pastry into 6 equal squares.
- 3Place a generous spoonful of the apple filling (from Step 1) into the center of each of the 6 pastry squares. Fold each square diagonally over the filling to form a triangle, then use the tines of a fork to firmly crimp and seal all three edges of each pastry triangle.
- 4In a small, microwave-safe bowl or saucepan, melt the 2 tablespoons Vegan butter. Brush the tops of all 6 assembled turnovers with the melted 2 tablespoons Vegan butter, then evenly sprinkle the 1 tablespoon Turbinado sugar over them.
- 5Carefully transfer the prepared turnovers to the lined baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced apart. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes in the preheated about 205°C (200°C) oven, until the pastry is visibly puffed up and golden brown.
- 6Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the appel flappen to cool slightly on the sheet before serving.
