These maple danishes are made with flaky store-bought puff pastry and a sweet, nutty maple pecan filling. In just a few easy steps, you can enjoy the perfect fall dessert or brunch treat.
Allow the frozen puff pastry to thaw at room temperature for 30-60 minutes before using. Preheat the oven to 400°F/200°C and line a baking sheet with parchment or a silicone baking mat.
Cut the puff pastry into 6 equal pieces and place on the prepared baking sheet. Using a small knife, trace a 1/2 inch border onto each pastry piece, indenting it slightly.
In a medium bowl, combine the pecans, brown sugar, maple syrup, vegan butter, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Mix into a sticky crumble. Divide the filling between each pastry and spread it out to fill the inside of the border.
Brush the edges with plant milk mixed with a splash of maple syrup, and bake for 20 minutes until golden brown.
Notes
Thaw the frozen puff pastry at room temperature for 1 hour, or in the fridge for 8 hours before using.Allow to cool slightly before eating, or cool completely before storing in the fridge or freezer.
