Ingredients
- Dough:
- 1 cup non-dairy milk (cashew, oat, soy, etc.)
- 1 packet instant (rapid rise) yeast
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar or coconut sugar
- 1/4 cup melted and cooled dairy-free butter or coconut oil
- 2 1/2 – 3 cups whole wheat pastry flour or unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Filling:
- 1/4 cup softened dairy-free butter
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar or coconut sugar
- Apple Pie Layer:
- 1 (16-ounce) jar BakeGood No Added Sugar Apple Pie Filling
- 1/4 cup brown sugar or coconut sugar
- Simple Glaze:
- 2/3 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon maple extract (or vanilla)
- 1 tablespoon milk of choice or water
Instructions
- Activate the Yeast: Heat non-dairy milk to about 110ºF. Combine with yeast and sugar in a large bowl. Stir and let sit for 10 minutes until foamy.
- Make the Dough: Add melted butter. Mix in 1/2 cup flour and salt, then gradually add remaining flour until dough pulls away from the bowl. Knead for 5 minutes using a dough hook. Adjust flour as needed until soft, not sticky.
- First Rise: Place dough in an oiled bowl, cover, and let rise for 45 minutes in a warm place until doubled.
- Prepare Filling: Mix apple pie filling with additional sugar. Set aside.
- Shape Cinnamon Rolls: Roll dough into a 14×9” rectangle. Spread with softened butter, sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar, then roll into a log. Slice into 9 equal rolls.
- Assemble Cobbler: Grease a 9×9” baking dish. Spread apple filling evenly in the bottom. Arrange cinnamon rolls on top, spaced slightly apart. Let rise 15–20 minutes.
- Bake: Preheat oven to 350ºF. Bake for 20 minutes or until tops are lightly golden.
- Glaze: Mix glaze ingredients until smooth. Drizzle over slightly cooled cobbler and serve warm.
Notes
- Use unbleached all-purpose flour for softer rolls, or whole wheat pastry flour for more fiber.
- Slice rolls with dental floss for cleaner cuts.
- Adjust sugar to taste if using sweetened apple filling.
- Can be made ahead and refrigerated overnight before baking.
