Vegan baked goods with dried fruits
Description
The pastry is simple and quick to prepare. The recipe stands out for its originality and the absence of yeast, as most fasting pastries are usually made with yeast-based dough. For making this fruit pastry, apricot jam is recommended according to the recipe, but it can be replaced with baked apples. Use black tea, preferably loose-leaf, as it's easier to strain. The pastry is ready. Serve at the table.
