Apple & Raspberry Pastries 

These little beauties are perfect for breakfast or snack time and taste like puff pastry apple pies with a twist! They come together so quickly and taste AMAZING! 

You can also make them ahead of time, pop into the freezer and bake when you ready! I love the combination of apple and raspberry but you could use any berries you like as the juxtaposition of sweet and tart is a delicious combination. 

There is no added sugar, just natural sweetness from the fruit, cinnamon and vanilla making them perfect for babies too!

You can mix up the berry filling and use whatever berries you have on hand/are in season. I also recommend use a sweeter variety of apples for this recipe as there is no added sugar! You can however add in a drizzle of maple syrup if you prefer.

7. Allow the pastry too cool before serving to little one's as the filling will be very hot.
