These mini vegan apple strudels are perfect for when you want a quick dessert with all the cozy flavors of fall. Flaky puff pastry, cinnamon-sweet apples, and just a few ingredients make them an easy go-to treat. Plus, they’re mini—so they’re even more fun to eat!
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.
