Equipment

A simple whisk or a hand mixer will help you blend your ingredients perfectly. If you have a stand mixer, even better!
Essential for wrapping the dough before refrigeration. Keeps it fresh and prevents drying out.
Choose a baking tray with a non-stick coating to ensure easy removal of your pastries once they are baked.
For evenly rolling out the dough. If you don’t have a rolling pin, a wine bottle can be a good stand-in.
Preheat your oven to the right temperature for perfect baking results. An oven thermometer can help maintain accuracy.
Variations
Want to make these apple cinnamon pastries gluten-free or vegan? Here you go:
🌾 Gluten-Free Version: Simply replace the regular flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Ensure your baking powder is also gluten-free. The texture will remain fantastic!
🌱 Vegan Version: Substitute the butter with vegan butter or coconut oil, and the egg with a flax seed egg (1 tablespoon ground flax seeds mixed with 2.5 tablespoons water). 🥥🍯 Use maple syrup instead of honey for a completely vegan experience.
Enjoy these variations without compromising on taste!
