  • Total Time: 25-30 minutes
  • Yield: 8-10 doughnuts 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 sheet of vegan puff pastry (store-bought or homemade)
  • 2 large apples, thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup or agave nectar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg (optional)
  • Vegan butter or coconut oil (for brushing)
  • Powdered sugar or vegan glaze (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Wash and thinly slice the apples. Toss apple slices with maple syrup, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside.
  3. Roll out the puff pastry on a floured surface. Cut out circles approximately 3 inches in diameter. Punch out the centers with a smaller cutter to create donut-shaped rings.
  4. Place the pastry rings on the prepared baking sheet. Spoon a small amount of apple filling into the center of each ring.
  5. Brush the tops with melted vegan butter or coconut oil. Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden and crispy. Let cool slightly before serving or glazing.

Notes

  • Use cold puff pastry to ensure maximum flakiness.
  • Feel free to swap apples with pears, peaches, or berries for different flavors.
  • Reheat leftover doughnuts in a toaster oven or air fryer for optimal crispiness.
