    vegan apple pie cinnamon rolls #AppleWeek

    Hi friends and happy FRIDAY! I can't believe it's already the last day of #AppleWeek! That has really flown by, hasn't it? 😉 To review, on Sunday I shared THE GIVEAWAY, on Monday I shared this Vegan Caramel Apple Galette, Tuesday brought this Apple Cinnamon Layer Cake with Brown Butter Streusel, and on Thursday I posted this Caramelized Apple Wheatberry Porridge. The grand finale for today is these Vegan Apple Pie Cinnamon Rolls! You guys know I have a special place in my heart for sweet rolls and #AppleWeek wouldn't have been complete without one. Let's make them!

    The sponsor for today's recipe is these fabulous Envy Apples! They are sweet, crisp, and added so much flavor to my apple pie cinnamon rolls. Though, to be completely honest... they sent me a ton of apples so I ended up using them in all of my #AppleWeek recipes. Let's keep it a secret though! 😉 For these sweet rolls, the apples are diced small and cooked down with brown sugar, apple pie spice, and coconut oil until thick, sweet, and caramelized. Then, they're slathered in my gold standard cinnamon dough, sprinkled with some pecans, rolled up, and cut into thick and chunky rolls. Let them rise overnight, and in the morning you're rewarded with the most decadent, irresistible apple pie cinnamon rolls. YUM.

    These apple pie cinnamon rolls are super easy to make vegan or otherwise just depending on what you have in the house! I used cashew milk and coconut oil, but if you don't have those on hand, you can easily sub dairy milk and dairy butter. The outcome will be just as good! But I'll always be here trying to peer-pressure you into being more plant based 😉

    Author: Valentina | The Baking Fairy
    Recipe type: Breakfast
    Serves: 9
    Ingredients
    • *for the rolls*
    • 1 cup nondairy milk
    • 2 cups white flour {+ ½ cup, separated}
    • ¼ cup vegetable oil or melted coconut oil
    • ¼ cup white sugar
    • ½ tablespoon instant active dry yeast {about ½ a package}
    • ¼ teaspoon baking powder
    • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
    • ¼ teaspoon salt
    • *for the apple filling*
    • 2 Envy apples, washed and cored
    • ½ cup dark brown sugar
    • ½ tablespoon apple pie spice
    • 2 tablespoon coconut oil
    • *to assemble*
    • ½ cup dark brown sugar
    • 2-3 tablespoon melted coconut oil
    • 1 tablespoon apple pie spice
    • ½ cup pecan pieces
    • *for the glaze*
    • ¼ cup unsweetened nondairy milk
    • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 1 cup powdered sugar
    • sprinkle of cinnamon
    Instructions
    1. In a large nonstick pot, combine the milk, oil, and ¼ cup of sugar. Heat up to about 120F {warmer than body temperature but NOT burning hot} over medium heat, then remove from burner and sprinkle the yeast on top. Let the mixture sit for a few minutes to allow the yeast to activate.
    2. Afterwards, mix in the 2 cups of flour, cover the pot with a clean tea towel, and let the dough rise for about 1 hour.
    3. After the first rise, add in the salt, baking powder, baking soda, and additional flour. Knead until all the flour has been absorbed, and add more if needed. You want the dough to be soft and smooth but not too sticky! Using a sharp knife, cut an X on top of your dough {this helps it rise }, cover with a tea towel again, and let rise for an additional 3+ hours. You can let it rise overnight at this point, or you can also wait until the next step!
    4. While the dough rises, prepare your apple filling. Wash your Envy apples, core, and cut into a small dice. I did not peel mine but you can if you want!
    5. In a small pot, melt down the coconut oil and brown sugar. Add in the Envy apple pieces and apple pie spice, and cook over medium heat until the apples are soft and the sugar has formed a thick caramelized sauce (should take 15-20 minutes). When ready, remove from heat and allow to cool COMPLETELY before assembling!
    6. After the second rise, lightly flour a clean surface, and dump the dough on top. Knead it for 2-3 minutes, adding more flour as needed. The dough should be smooth and easy to work with, so add flour if it's too sticky!
    7. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough out into a rough rectangle, making sure you don't roll it out too thin (somewhere between ½-¼ inch). Spread the melted coconut oil all over the surface, and top with the apple filling, additional brown sugar, apple pie spice, and pecan pieces.
    8. Starting on the long side closest to you, roll up the dough.
    9. Using a large, smooth knife, cut 1½-2 inch slices of dough, and place them in a greased 9x9 pan (or cast iron skillet). Make sure to leave some space between the rolls to allow them to rise more!
    10. At this point, you can cover the pans with plastic wrap and either let them rise for 30 minutes in a warm place, or place them in the refrigerator overnight.
    11. When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 375F. Bake the rolls 18-20 minutes, until the tops are golden brown and no longer doughy.
    12. While the rolls cook, make the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the nondairy milk, powdered sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon. Add more or less powdered sugar depending on how thick you want your glaze to be.
    13. Let rolls cool slightly before glazing, and enjoy!
