Variations

Looking to make this recipe gluten-free or vegan? No problem! These variations are just as delicious and easy to prepare:

Gluten-Free: Replace the regular flour with gluten-free flour. Ensure the brand you choose works well for baking to avoid any texture issues.

Vegan: Substitute the kefir with a plant-based yogurt or dairy-free milk (like almond or soy milk). Make sure to check that your chosen yogurt or milk is unsweetened.

These changes will make the recipe inclusive for everyone while keeping it wonderfully tasty! 🌱✨

Faq

  • What can I use as a substitute for kefir?

    You can use buttermilk or a plant-based yogurt as a substitute for kefir.

  • Can I use other types of fruit instead of apples?

    Absolutely! Pears or peaches can work wonderfully as substitutes.

  • How do I make sure my pastry isn’t too dry?

    Keep an eye on it while baking and insert a toothpick to check if it's done. If it comes out clean, it's ready! Overbaking can make it dry.

  • Can I add nuts to the recipe?

    Of course! Adding walnuts or pecans can give a nice crunch to your pastry.

  • What’s the best way to store leftovers?

    Store the leftover pastry in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days, or in the fridge for up to a week.

  • How can I reheat the pastry?

    Reheat individual slices in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds, or warm the entire pastry in an oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 10 minutes.
