cups flour
tsp salt
tsp cinnamon
Tablespoons “I Can’t Believe it’s
Not Butter” cooking and
baking sticks
2 ½ Tablespoons very cold apple
juice concentrate
In food processor, process first 4 ingredients until mixed. While
processor is running, pour in the apple juice one tablespoon at a time
until pastry forms a ball. It may take a little more or a little less apple
juice, so add the last ½ tablespoon only if needed. Dump out on a
lightly floured board and press dough together handling as little as
possible. Refrigerate for 2 hours. Cut dough into 1/4th’s and roll out
each section separately, putting the other sections back into the
fridge. Roll out the dough into a rectangle about 1/8th of an inch
thick.
