sugar

🥗Healthier: stevia

💰Cheaper: brown sugar

Stevia reduces calories, while brown sugar is often less expensive.

almond slices

🥗Healthier: chopped walnuts

💰Cheaper: chopped peanuts

Walnuts provide a similar texture, while peanuts are generally cheaper.

Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F).

Roll out the puff pastry on a floured surface until thin.

Cut the pastry into squares or rectangles.

Brush the edges of each pastry piece with beaten egg.

Fold the corners of each pastry square to the center to form a pouch.

Press the edges to seal securely.

Melt butter and mix with sugar and cinnamon in a bowl.

Brush the tops of the pouches with the butter mixture.

Sprinkle with almond slices for garnish.

Place the pouches on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Bake in the preheated oven until golden, about 15-20 minutes.

Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving.
