APPLE CINNAMON ROLLS 🍂🍎🍂

in #esteem5 years ago (edited)

Hello my Dearest Foodies,

As some of you may remember, I shared post about our apple picking trip we did earlier this month. Although I didn't pick huge amount of apples I still had some left in the fringe. I only made RUSTIC APPLE GALTTE so far and I ate a few, there for I though I should make something yummy festive before they are all gone.

After some serious thinking, I decide to do a little experiment. And you know me and how much I enjoy doing than, although you don't know how many times my experiments don't work, lol. For example, I was not able to make vegan refined sugar free PAVLOVA and MACARONS yet! I tried 3 times!!! LOL!!! And Xylitol is not exactly a cheep ingredient to experiment with, quite the opposite. Oh well, maybe it works only with regular sugar, which is extremely unhealthy, so maybe I will never make it. But I am not giving up yet, so will see.

Anyway, lets get back to our CINNAMON ROLLS that worked quite well, even though I never made them before. Besides, they are not commonly made with apple filling. However, I think it's a great idea, because they are delicious. Just make sure you also make that SPICED CARAMEL and CAsHEW ICING! If you try it, you will fall in love 🍎😍🍎

Vegan – Refined Sugar Free
Author: Lena’s Vegan Living

INGREDIENTS for 8 rolls
• Apples 2 medium size
• Apple pie spice 2tsp (store bought or homemade)
• Whole grain spelt flour 3 cups
• Almond milk 1 cup (unsweetened)
• Vegan butter 1/4cup
• Active yeast 1 1/4tsp
• Xylitol/ Birch sweetener ¼ cup
• Himalayan pink salt ¼ tsp
• Baking pan 8 X 8inch (20 X 20cm)

PROCESS
• Peal and wash your apples, then cut in half.
• Slice each half with knife or mandoline 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 2tsp apple spice and 2 tbs of Xylitol, cover with lid and store in the refrigerator.
• In a small pot, heat up the milk with 3 tbs 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 10min for the yeast to activate.
• Mix in the remaining Xylitol and gradually add the flour, ½ 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 5min until smooth.
• 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 ½ 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 1/2inch thick (3cm).

Apple cinnamon rolls sounds absolutely delicious @lenasveganliving! Your photography is just beautiful. !tip

Thank you so much my Dear Lizelle, you are the best 😍

Xylitol? Wow, what's that?

Xylitol, also called Birch sugar is extracted from Birch wood. It tastes like sugar, even better, but it has low glycemic index. It's best if you read more about it HERE Available in some supermarket or online. For example on Amazon

thanks, although i'll be fine with honey haha

If you are not baking and you are not vegan then I guess you will!

Yummy and tasty
