Instructions
 

For the crust

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder. Stir until evenly blended.
  • Pour the vegetable oil into the dry ingredients and mix until it starts to clump together.
  • Gradually add the cold water, stirring until the dough comes together. It’s okay if a few small crumbles remain; avoid overmixing.
  • Shape the dough into a disc, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

For the filling

  • Peel the apples and dice them finely. The smaller the pieces, the better.
  • Toss the diced apples in a small bowl with the sugar and cinnamon, making sure they're evenly coated.

Assembly

  • Line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Roll out the chilled dough between two lightly floured pieces of parchment paper until it’s about ¼ inch thick.
  • Use a round cutter (around 3 inches in diameter) to cut out as many circles as possible. You can reroll the dough once if needed, but avoid working it too much.
  • Place half of the dough rounds on a prepared baking sheet. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the apple mixture onto the center of each round.
  • Lightly brush the edges of the dough around the filling with a bit of oat milk or water.
  • Top each filled round with another dough circle, pressing down gently around the edges to remove air and seal them.
  • Brush the tops with oat milk and sprinkle raw cane sugar over each one. Cut a small vent on the top of each pastry using a sharp knife.
  • Chill the assembled pastries in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes before baking.

Baking

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F about 10 minutes before baking.
  • Bake the pastries for 24-27 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown.
  • Remove from the oven and let them cool completely before serving.
