Instructions
  1. Heat coconut oil, almond milk, and coconut sugar for dough in a small saucepan until it reaches 110F degrees.
  2. Sprinkle yeast over warmed milk and set for 5 minutes until yeast becomes bubbly.
  3. Add 2 cups of flour into the milk mixture. Stir with a wooden spoon until just combined. Cover with a clean towel and allow to rise in a warm area for 60 minutes.
  4. Once dough has risen, add salt, baking powder, and remaining flour. Stir until combined.
  5. On a floured surface, kneed dough until it looses it’s stickiness (doesn’t stick to the surface). With a rolling pin, roll dough into 1/4″ thick rectangle.
  6. Core and dice apple, then add to a small saucepan with about 1-2″ water, cover with a lid and cook until apples are soft, then drain water (this should take around 8 minutes).
  7. Mash apples and spread over dough. In a small bowl, stir together coconut sugar and cinnamon for filling, then sprinkle evenly over dough. NOTE: These are not very sweet intentionally, so if you like a sweeter dessert, I suggest adding more sugar and/or chopped dates to the filling and frosting! Roll dough into a log and cut about 2″ cinnamon rolls.
  8. Line a 4″ by 6″ baking dish with parchment paper and set cinnamon rolls into it. Bake on 350F for 30 minutes until golden on top.
  9. In a small hand blender combine ingredients for frosting until smooth, then spread over cinnamon rolls and serve!
