Step-by-Step Instructions

  • Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, and salt.
  • Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, blend the almond milk, coconut sugar, melted coconut oil, and applesauce until combined.
  • Combine Mixtures: Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture, mixing until just combined.
  • Form the Dough: Slowly incorporate the remaining flour, one cup at a time, until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms.
  • Knead the Dough: Transfer to a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth.
  • Let the Dough Rest: Place the dough in a bowl coated with coconut oil and cover with a towel. Let rest for 10 minutes.
  • Prepare the Filling: Roll out the dough and sprinkle with cinnamon, diced apples, and remaining coconut sugar.
  • Roll and Slice: Roll the dough tightly from one edge and slice into 12 equal rolls.
  • Let the Rolls Rise: Arrange sliced rolls in a baking pan, cover, and let rise for 20-30 minutes.
  • Bake to Perfection: Preheat oven to 350°F and bake for about 20 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Frosting Time: Blend cream cheese and maple syrup until smooth while rolls bake.
  • Serve and Celebrate: Allow rolls to cool slightly before drizzling with frosting and serve warm.

Notes

Use fresh ingredients for best results, and allow rolls to cool slightly before frosting to maintain creamy texture.
