Ingredients
  

For the Filling
  • 2 cups diced apples Substitute with pears or berries for a different twist.
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar Can swap with coconut sugar for a healthier option.

  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice Vinegar can be a substitute if unavailable.
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch Arrowroot powder is a viable alternative.

  • 1 tablespoon plant-based milk Any non-dairy milk works, including almond or oat milk.
For the Icing
  • 1 cup powdered sugar Adjust quantity based on desired sweetness and icing thickness.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Almond extract can serve as a unique alternative.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine diced apples, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Stir until well-coated and let sit for 10 minutes.
  2. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. Roll out your vegan puff pastry to about ¼ inch thick and cut into 3x3 inch squares.
  4. Place a spoonful of the apple mixture in the center of each pastry square, fold the corners over, and pinch the edges securely to seal.
  5. Brush the tops of the filled doughnuts with plant-based milk and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
  6. In a bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, plant-based milk, and vanilla extract until smooth for the icing.
  7. Drizzle the icing over the cooled doughnuts and let it set for a few minutes.
