**Vegan Hot Apple Pie Turnovers**
**Ingredients:**
– 4 medium-sized apples, peeled and diced
– 1/4 cup brown sugar
– 1 teaspoon cinnamon
– 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
– 1 tablespoon cornstarch
– 1 tablespoon lemon juice
– 1 package vegan puff pastry, thawed
– 1 tablespoon non-dairy milk
– 1 tablespoon maple syrup
– Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
**Instructions:**
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Cook the mixture, stirring occasionally, for about 10-15 minutes until the apples are tender and the mixture has thickened. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
3. Roll out the thawed puff pastry on a floured surface and cut it into equal-sized squares. You should end up with about 8 squares.
4. Spoon a generous amount of the apple filling onto one half of each pastry square, leaving a small border around the edges.
5. Fold the other half of the pastry over the filling to create a triangle shape. Use a fork to crimp the edges of the turnover to seal them shut.
6. Place the turnovers on the prepared baking sheet. Mix the non-dairy milk and maple syrup in a small bowl and brush the mixture over the turnovers for a golden finish.
7. Bake the turnovers in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until they are puffed and golden brown.
8. Remove the turnovers from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Optional: Dust the turnovers with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness.
9. Serve these Vegan Hot Apple Pie Turnovers warm with a scoop of dairy-free vanilla ice cream or a dollop of coconut whipped cream for an indulgent dessert that captures the essence of fall in every bite.
