Ingredients

Scale

Dough Ingredients

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup warm plant-based milk (about 110°F)
  • 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast (1 packet)
  • 1/4 cup neutral oil (such as vegetable or canola)
  • Pinch of salt

Filling Ingredients

  • 2 cups grated fresh apples
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tsp cinnamon powder (natural flavoring)
  • 1 tsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural flavoring)
  • 1/2 tsp natural gelling agent

Glaze Ingredients

  • 1 cup powdered sugar (plant-based)
  • 2–3 tbsp plant-based milk
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (natural flavoring)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dough: Warm your plant-based milk to about 110°F, then stir in the active dry yeast and a pinch of sugar to activate. Let it sit for 5 minutes until foamy. In a large bowl, mix the flour, brown sugar, and a pinch of salt. Add the yeast mixture and neutral oil, then knead gently until a smooth dough forms. Cover and let rise for about an hour until doubled in size.
  2. Make the apple cinnamon filling: While the dough rises, grate fresh apples and combine with brown sugar, cinnamon powder (natural flavoring), vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural flavoring), and natural gelling agent. Mix well to create a lightly thickened, fragrant filling perfect for spreading.
  3. Roll out and fill the dough: Once the dough has risen, roll it out on a floured surface into a large rectangle approximately 12×16 inches. Evenly spread the apple cinnamon filling over the dough, leaving a small border along the edges.
  4. Shape and cut the rolls: Carefully roll up the dough lengthwise to form a log. Slice it into 12 equal-sized rolls using a sharp knife or dental floss for clean cuts.
  5. Final rise and bake: Place the rolls in a greased baking dish, cover loosely with a cloth, and let rise for 30 minutes until puffy. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes or until golden and cooked through.
  6. Glaze and serve: While the rolls bake, mix powdered sugar (plant-based) with plant-based milk and vanilla extract (natural flavoring) to create a smooth glaze. Drizzle the glaze over the warm rolls before serving for a shiny, sweet finish.

Notes

  • Proof the yeast properly by ensuring the milk is warm but not hot for perfect activation.
  • Grate apples finely to allow the filling to spread evenly and blend into the rolls.
  • Roll the dough tightly to prevent loose ends and keep the filling inside.
  • Do not skip the final rise to achieve soft, fluffy rolls.
  • Use fresh cinnamon powder (natural flavoring) for the best flavor impact.
