Vegan Apple Cinnamon Candy Rolls

Apple season is in full swing!  Though I’ve but to make it to the apple orchard this 12 months, I actually wish to go quickly, I like going there are selecting my very own apples!  Nevertheless I did not too long ago purchase some apples at a farm market after we visited Door County Wisconsin not too long ago.  They have been the primary of the season, they usually have been scrumptious!  I had simply sufficient left to make one thing, so I made a decision to make some Vegan Apple Cinnamon Candy Rolls!  I’ve been eager to make these for some time, I obtained the concept final 12 months however did not get round to it so I needed to do it this 12 months!  I made these after work in the future final week as a result of they simply sounded good!

I truly actually like making yeasted dough when I’ve the time, it’s sort of enjoyable and satisfying to knead it!  To suppose I was intimidated by it again within the day, however it’s actually nothing to fret about as long as your yeast is recent, and you do not add overly sizzling water to it. I had a meals class in highschool, and the trainer would all the time say, add heat water however not too sizzling, you do not wish to kill the yeasty beasties!  I nonetheless say that to myself now lol when I’m including the water. It needs to be about 105-110F levels however not hotter. One other word on the yeast, for those who select to make use of fast rise yeast on this recipe, then it rises in about half the time, so control it, and it needs to be completed rising in half the famous time. I’ve made my rolls with it earlier than and it really works simply as nicely.

I scented the dough with cinnamon and vanilla, and I used granulated sugar this time as a result of it was what I occurred to have readily available, however you may use maple sugar, coconut sugar and even brown for those who choose.  Additionally, I used entire wheat pastry flour as a result of it’s what I had however for those who wished to make use of common all function flour, that works too, I’ve used the identical quantity in my roll recipes earlier than with good outcomes (I exploit the identical base roll recipe for many of my candy rolls and simply change the flavorings). For the filling, I used a mix of chopped apples, apple jam that Eric’s Dad made, and a few maple syrup and it was simply the correct amount of candy!

Lastly, I topped these off with a vegan cream cheese frosting, as a result of cinnamon rolls need to have a superb frosting!  I used a mix of vegan butter and cream cheese with a bit vanilla and powdered sugar to sweeten it.  For those who wished a much less candy topping, you may use the glaze that I used on my Strawberry Candy Rolls as an alternative, it’s made with coconut butter and no refined sugar.  Anyhow, these rolls turned out sooo good!  They have been gentle and fluffy, the candy cinnamon apple filling tart and candy and flavorful, the proper companion for the wealthy cream cheese frosting!  If you’re loving apple desserts as a lot as I’m proper now, positively give these Vegan Apple Cinnamon Candy Rolls a attempt!
