Vegan Apple Pie Cream Cheese Puff Pastries

vegan apple pie cream cheese pastry puffs: the perfect fall indulgence

if you’re looking for the ultimate cozy treat, these vegan apple pie cream cheese pastry puffs are about to be your new obsession.

they’re flaky, sweet, and so decadent that you’d never guess they’re completely plant-based.

whether you’re enjoying them with a warm cup of tea or serving them as dessert, these little pastries pack a punch of flavor and indulgence.

taste and texture

the taste is pure apple pie heaven.

the cinnamon-spiced sautéed apples bring in that comforting warmth you love from traditional apple pie, while the cream cheese filling adds a velvety, slightly tangy richness.

wrapped in the crisp, buttery layers of store-bought vegan puff pastry, each bite is an irresistible combination of creamy, sweet, and flaky textures.

the pastry dough puffs up beautifully in the oven, creating golden-brown, crispy edges that perfectly balance the softness of the filling.

these pastry puffs are rich, indulgent, and yet still light thanks to the airy pastry.

it’s like biting into an apple pie dream, but with the ease of handheld puffs.

it’s the perfect way to enjoy classic fall flavors with a bit of decadence.

about the pastry dough

for this recipe, i used vegan store-bought puff pastry, and it’s Dufour brand.

it’s one of the best vegan puff pastry options i’ve found—perfectly flaky and buttery, yet completely plant-based.

store-bought pastry makes this recipe super convenient while still feeling gourmet.

if you’re in a pinch and don’t want to make dough from scratch, this is the way to go.

filling substitutions

the apple and cream cheese filling combo is amazing, but there’s plenty of room to switch things up depending on your mood or the season.

you can swap out the apples for pears, peaches, or even a mix of berries. the sautéed fruit idea with cinnamon and maple syrup works with almost anything!

if you want a more decadent filling, you could try adding a little vegan caramel drizzle or even a handful of vegan chocolate chips to the cream cheese mixture.

and if you prefer a simpler version, you can skip the cream cheese altogether and just use a fruit filling with some extra cinnamon sugar sprinkled on top.

storage tips

these vegan apple pie cream cheese pastry puffs are best enjoyed fresh and warm from the oven, but you can store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.

to reheat, just pop them in the oven at 350°F for a few to get the pastry crisp again.

you can also freeze them before baking if you want to prep them ahead of time—just bake them directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
