Serving Size 6
Equipment
- 1 baking sheet
- 1 butter knife
Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry
- 1 cup pecans chopped
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons vegan butter softened
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- 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.
