Recipe Ingredients And Swaps<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n

Apples<\/strong>: From Granny Smith to Red Delicious, any variety of fruit works in cinnamon roll apple pie. I simply prefer to use whatever is locally grown, in season, and easily available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vegan apple pie cinnamon rolls<\/strong>: Switch butter with coconut oil and milk with a plant-based option, as I did for my classic vegan cinnamon rolls<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add-ins:<\/strong> Brown sugar and cinnamon powder create a blend that makes the apple flavor shine. Add some nutmeg and clove powder if you like. You could definitely mix some chopped nuts in the filling and\/or on top of the apple rolls like I did for my easy baklava cinnamon rolls<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

How To Make<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Step 1:<\/strong> Dice the apples and mix them with sugar and cinnamon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Step 2<\/strong>: Warm milk, oil, and sugar over medium heat. Take it off the heat as soon as the sugar dissolves. Let it cool. Mix yeast. Set aside until frothy and bubbly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 3:<\/strong> Add the flour and mix to make apple pie cinnamon roll dough. Cover it with a damp kitchen towel and then tuck it into a cozy corner of your kitchen until it doubles in size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 4:<\/strong> Add the leftover flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder to the dough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 5:<\/strong> The dough is now ready<\/strong> to be baked into cinnamon rolls with apple filling. I like to use it the next day, after chilling overnight. It just makes handling the sticky dough so much easier.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\"Steps<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\n

Step 6:<\/strong> While your oven preheats, butter your baking pan, flour your work surface, and then gently roll the dough into a thin, large rectangle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 7:<\/strong> Brush it with a generous amount of melted butter. Cover with chopped apples tossed in cinnamon sugar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 8<\/strong>: Shape the apple rolls by rolling the dough into a tight log, starting from the long side of the rectangle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 9:<\/strong> Pinch the seam. Turn the log seam-side facing down. Cut into 1.5\" - 2 \" slices.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Step 10:<\/strong> Place the cinnamon rolls in the pie pan. Wait for the second rise (about 15\u201320 minutes or until puffy).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Final step:<\/strong> Bake until apple juices are bubbling and the top is beautifully golden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
