Gabrielle

Also send to

4 individual frozen vegan puff pastry sheets, thawed
1-2 large apples, peeled, cored and sliced in thick wedges
4 tablespoons almond paste (ingredients below)
4 tablespoons plain soy yogurt
2 tablespoons agave syrup
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
non-dairy topping as optional garnish

for the almond paste:

1/4 cup ground almonds
1/4 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons soy cream or soy yogurt
2 drops almond extract flavoring

1. First make the almond paste by mixing the ingredients in a small bowl.

2. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.

3. Thaw the puff pastry sheets.

4. Mix the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.

5. Mix the soy yogurt with the agave to slightly sweeten it.

6. Peel, core and slice the apples.

7. Place the puff pastry sheets on a cookie sheet, prepared with baking parchment or silpat.

8. Put a tablespoon of almond paste evenly in the center of each pastry sheet.

9. Put a tablespoon of soy yogurt on the almond paste.

10. Place 3-4 apple wedges evenly in the center of the pastry sheet.

11. Sprinkle a teaspoon of cinnamon sugar over the apple.

12. Bring the corners of the pastry sheets to the center, covering the apple but do not overlap them or press them tightly closed. By being lightly closed, the pastry will slightly open to look as flower petals opening.

13. Bake for 22-25 minutes.

14. Serve warm, optionally with non-dairy whipped topping.
