Guava Pastelitos (Guava Pastries)

Preheat oven to 400°F. Place puff pastry sheets out to soften. Cut guava into pieces and place in a medium saucepan with lemon juice and water; heat on medium. Cook 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until melted and combined. Remove from heat; set aside.

Line baking sheet with parchment. Unroll pastry sheets and cut each into 9 equal squares (18 squares total). Place 9 pastry squares on baking sheet and brush edges with egg substitute (about 1/4 cup). 

Spoon about 2 tablespoons guava mixture in center of 9 pastry squares, then top with remaining 9 pastry squares, pressing edges to crimp. Brush tops of pastries with remaining 1/4 cup egg substitute, then cut 3 slits on top of each pastry to vent.

Bake pastries 10 minutes, then reduce heat to 350°F. Bake 18–20 minutes or until golden. Cool 5 minutes before serving.
