Ingredients
- 1 pack puff pastry sheet
- 2 pink lady apples
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- crushed walnuts optional topping
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° F
- Cut circles out of the puff pastry sheet and place them in muffin tins, so they become like little cups.
- Cut the apples into small cubes and cook them in a pan with the cinnamon, sugar, coconut oil and a bit of water for about 5 minutes, stirring regularly.
- Transfer them into the puff pastry cups and bake in the oven for about 15-20 minutes.
- Take them out and sprinkle with walnuts (if using).
Notes
Storage Notes:
- Cool Completely Before Storing: Make sure the strudels are completely cooled before storing to prevent condensation from making the pastry soggy in the fridge or freezer.
- Refrigeration: Store leftover vegan apple strudel in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Freezing: You can freeze the baked strudels by letting them cool completely, then placing them in a single layer in an airtight container or freezer bag. They’ll keep for up to 2 months.
Reheating Instructions:
- Oven Reheat: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Place the strudels on a baking sheet and bake for 5-10 minutes until warmed through and crisp again.
- Air Fryer: Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for about 3-4 minutes for a crispy texture.
Additional Tips:
- Thaw Puff Pastry Properly: Always let the puff pastry thaw in the fridge for a few hours before using. If it’s too cold, it may crack when unrolled; if it’s too warm, it can become sticky and hard to handle. Aim for a chilled, pliable texture for best results.
- Avoid Overstuffing: Be careful not to overfill the puff pastry cups with apples, as too much filling can make the pastry soggy during baking.
