Maple Apple Walnut Cinnamon Rolls


Ingredients

Scale

Dough

  • 1/2 cup warm water
  • 1 package (1/4 oz.) instant yeast
  • 1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk, almost boiled
  • 1/3 cup coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1 egg
  • 2 c. Whole Wheat Pastry Flour
  • 2 c. Whole Wheat Graham Flour (I use Bob’s Red Mill)

Filling

  • 1 Honeycrisp or Gala apple, peeled and chopped
  • 1/3 cup walnuts
  • 1 tbs. cinnamon
  • 2 tbs. coconut sugar
  • 1 tbs. honey
  • 3 tbs. melted coconut oil

Glaze

  • 2 tbs. melted coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350˚F.
  2. Dissolve yeast in warm water.
  3. In a saucepan, heat almond milk on medium heat until almost boiling. Reduce heat and add coconut oil and honey, whisking until melted. Remove from heat and transfer contents to a large bowl – let cool until a bit warmer than room temperature (so that the coconut oil is still a liquid)
  4. Once cooled, whisk in yeast slurry, egg, and salt.
  5. In a separate bowl, combine flours.
  6. Slowly add flour to wet ingredients until completely combined and dough can be handled. Extra flour may be added. Knead dough for a few minutes with floured hands.
  7. Let sit in a warm place to double in size, about 1 hour.
  8. Combine filling ingredients in a food processor and pulse until a coarse paste forms.
  9. Once dough has risen, punch it down and roll out on a floured surface until about 1/4 inch thick.
  10. Spread filling evenly over dough.
  11. Roll the long end of the dough inward to create a log.
  12. Using a very sharp knife, cut into 16 even slices.
  13. Arrange slices together into two greased cake pans.
  14. Bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
  15. Whisk together glaze ingredients and drizzle evenly over warm rolls.
