Warm, cinnamon-spiced apples are simmered with sugar, nutmeg, and a bright hit of lemon juice until tender, then thickened with a touch of cornstarch so the filling turns glossy and jam-like instead of runny. That filling gets tucked into buttery-crisp puff pastry, folded and crimped into neat little parcels before baking until deeply golden and puffed. A brush of dairy free milk and a sprinkle of sugar on top help the pastry crackle and caramelize in the oven, and a simple glaze made with more dairy free milk and powdered sugar gets drizzled over the top while they're still warm. The result is a bakery-style hand pie with a flaky, shattering crust and a soft, spiced apple center — the kind of treat that makes a kitchen smell incredible. It's an easy, crowd-pleasing dessert to have on hand, and it fits neatly into a vegan spread without any fuss.

Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the diced apples, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the apples are just tender and the sugar has dissolved, about 5–6 minutes.
