Puff Pastry Ingredients:

  • 300 g All-Purpose Flour
  • 225 g Vegan Butter
  • 125 ml Ice Cold Water
  • 1 tsp Salt

Filling Ingredients:

  • 2 medium Apples, peeled, cored and diced
  • 50 g Brown Sugar
  • 1 tbsp Lemon Juice
  • 1 tbsp Cornstarch
  • 1 tsp Cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp Nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp Salt

Glaze Ingredients:

  • 125 g Powdered Sugar (sifted)
  • 2 tbsp Plant-Based Milk
  • 1/2 tsp Vanilla

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.
  • Add the chilled butter to the bowl and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut it into the flour until the mixture is crumbly.
  • Add the ice-cold water to the bowl and mix everything together until a dough forms.
  • Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it for a minute or two until it comes together in a smooth ball.
  • Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes.
  • Roll the chilled dough out on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
  • Fold the bottom third of the dough up and the top third down, like a letter.
  • Turn the dough 90 degrees and roll it out again into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
  • Fold the bottom third up and the top third down again.
  • Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes.
  • Repeat steps 6-10 twice more, for a total of three folds.
  • Preheat your oven to 200°C.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, combine the chopped apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cornstarch, lemon juice, and salt.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll the chilled puff pastry dough out into a rectangle about 1/8 inch thick.
  • Use a knife or pizza cutter to cut the dough into squares or rectangles of equal size.
  • Spoon some of the apple mixture onto one half of each square or rectangle, leaving a little space around the edges.
  • Fold the other half of the dough over the filling and press the edges together with a fork to seal.
  • Place the turnovers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Bake the turnovers for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
  • While the turnovers are baking, make the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, non-dairy milk, and vanilla extract in a small mixing bowl.
  • When the turnovers are done, let them cool for a few minutes before drizzling them with the glaze.
  • Serve the turnovers warm and enjoy!
