Ingredients You Need for Apple Cinnamon Rolls [Vegan]
How to Prepare Apple Cinnamon Rolls [Vegan]
For the Rolls:
- Peal and wash your apples, then cut in half.
- Slice each half with knife or mandolin slicer, begging from the edge towards the middle. Flip to other side and discard the centre. Repeat until both apples are sliced.
- Mix your slices in a bowl with 2 teaspoons apple spice and 2 tablespoons of Xylitol, cover with lid and store in the refrigerator.
- In a small pot, heat up the milk with 3 tablespoons of butter, until the butter melts. Make sure it doesn’t boil.
- Transfer into a bowl and wait few minutes to cool down.
- When lukewarm, sprinkle with yeast and set aside for 10 minutes for the yeast to activate.
- Mix in the remaining Xylitol and gradually add the flour, 1/2 cup at the time while continually mixing with wooden spoon and eventually with your hands.
- When the dough becomes ready, transfer it on lightly floured surface and kneed for 3 to 5 minutes until sooth.
- Create a ball and transfer into a lightly greased bowl. Seal with plastic wrap and set aside for 1 hour.
- When the dough is double in size, melt the remaining butter.
- On a lightly floured surface roll the dough in rectangle, about 1/2 inch (1cm) thick.
- Brush with melted butter and apply sliced apples evenly all the way to the edges.
- When ready, tightly roll the dough into a log.
- Using sharp a knife, cut it in half, then cut the halves into half. Repeat, until you get 8 equal pieces, about 1 1/2 inch thick (3cm).
For the Cashew Icing:
- Blend all ingredients in the blender until smooth. If too thick, you may add 1 or 2 tablespoons of filtered water as well. But be careful, add only 1 tablespoon at the time, until you get the desired thickness.
- Store in a refrigerator or serve right away.
For the Spiced Caramel:
- In a small pot, bring maple syrup to boil, add rest of the ingredients and stir well.
- Reduce the heat and let it simmer for 5 minutes.
- Take it off the heat and transfer into small dish. Let it cool down for 10 minutes.
For the Apple Pie Spice:
- Mix ingredients well and keep in a sealed jar.
