Vegan Apple Cinnamon Rolls

Vegan Apple Cinnamon Rolls

Ready to dive into the cozy world of baking? These vegan apple cinnamon rolls are your ticket to a sweet, spiced treat that’s perfect for any morning or afternoon pick-me-up.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (I like to use unbleached for a softer texture)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (a little extra won’t hurt if you’ve got a sweet tooth)
  • 1 packet instant yeast (about 2 1/4 tsp—trust me, it’s worth measuring)
  • 1/2 cup almond milk, warmed to 110°F (just a quick zap in the microwave does the trick)
  • 1/4 cup vegan butter, melted (I’m all about the Miyoko’s brand here)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (the real deal, not imitation)
  • 1 medium apple, finely diced (go for Honeycrisp if you can—they’re the perfect balance of sweet and tart)
  • 2 tbsp cinnamon (because you can never have too much)
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar (pack it tight for that rich molasses flavor)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, and yeast.
  2. Pour in the warmed almond milk, melted vegan butter, and vanilla extract. Stir until a dough forms.
  3. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes, until smooth and elastic. Tip: If the dough sticks to your hands, a little more flour will save the day.
  4. Place the dough back in the bowl, cover with a towel, and let it rise in a warm spot for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  5. While the dough rises, mix the diced apple, cinnamon, and brown sugar in a small bowl. Set aside.
  6. Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a 12×9 inch rectangle. Sprinkle the apple mixture evenly over the top.
  7. Starting from the long side, roll the dough tightly into a log. Cut into 9 even pieces. Tip: A piece of dental floss makes slicing the rolls a breeze—just slide it under and cross over to cut.
  8. Place the rolls in a greased 9-inch round pan. Cover and let rise for another 30 minutes.
  9. Preheat your oven to 375°F. Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown. Tip: A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean when they’re done.

Zesty and warm, these rolls are best served fresh out of the oven. The apple bits get wonderfully soft, and the cinnamon sugar melts into every layer. Try drizzling with a simple powdered sugar glaze for an extra touch of sweetness.

Apple Cinnamon Vegan Pancakes

Apple Cinnamon Vegan Pancakes

Breakfast just got a whole lot cozier with these Apple Cinnamon Vegan Pancakes. Imagine biting into fluffy, golden pancakes with sweet apple bits and a warm cinnamon hug—yes, it’s as good as it sounds.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (I like to sift mine for extra fluffiness)
  • 1 tbsp baking powder (the secret to those perfect rises)
  • 1/2 tsp salt (just a pinch to balance the sweetness)
  • 1 tbsp cinnamon (because more is always better)
  • 1 cup almond milk (any plant milk works, but almond is my fave)
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup (the real deal, none of that fake stuff)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (a splash of happiness)
  • 1 medium apple, diced (go for something crisp like Honeycrisp)
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil, melted (extra virgin gives a nice hint of flavor)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon until well combined.
  2. Add the almond milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until just mixed—don’t overdo it, lumps are okay.
  3. Gently fold in the diced apple. Let the batter sit for 5 minutes; this helps the flour hydrate.
  4. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat (about 350°F) and brush with a bit of coconut oil.
  5. Pour 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Flip carefully and cook for another 2 minutes until golden brown. Keep them warm in a low oven if you’re making a batch.
  7. Serve hot with a drizzle of maple syrup and a sprinkle of cinnamon. Tip: Add a dollop of almond butter for extra richness.

Delightfully fluffy with a crispy edge, these pancakes are a morning game-changer. The apple bits soften just enough, and the cinnamon makes every bite feel like fall. Try stacking them high with sliced bananas and a sprinkle of granola for crunch.

Vegan Apple Pie

Vegan Apple Pie

There’s nothing quite like the smell of a vegan apple pie baking in the oven to make your home feel cozy. This recipe is a game-changer for anyone looking to enjoy a classic dessert without the dairy.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (I like to sift mine for extra fluffiness)
  • 1/2 cup vegan butter, chilled (keep it cold for the best crust)
  • 1/4 cup ice water (just enough to bring the dough together)
  • 6 medium apples, peeled and thinly sliced (Granny Smiths are my go-to for their tartness)
  • 3/4 cup sugar (adjust based on how sweet your apples are)
  • 1 tsp cinnamon (because what’s apple pie without it?)
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg (a little goes a long way)
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice (to keep those apples from browning)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). A hot oven is key for that golden crust.
  2. In a large bowl, mix the flour and vegan butter until it resembles coarse crumbs. Tip: Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to keep the butter cold.
  3. Gradually add ice water, 1 tbsp at a time, until the dough comes together. Don’t overwork it!
  4. Divide the dough in half, roll out one half for the bottom crust, and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish.
  5. Toss the sliced apples with sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice in a bowl. Tip: Let it sit for 10 minutes to draw out the juices.
  6. Pour the apple mixture into the crust, then roll out the second half of the dough for the top crust. Seal and crimp the edges.
  7. Cut a few slits in the top crust for steam to escape. Tip: Brush with a little almond milk for extra browning.
  8. Bake for 45-50 minutes, until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbly.

Out of the oven, this pie has a flaky crust with a sweet, spiced apple filling that’s just begging for a scoop of vegan vanilla ice cream. Serve it warm for the ultimate comfort food experience.

Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal Vegan

Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal Vegan

Kickstart your morning with this cozy bowl of apple cinnamon oatmeal that’s not only vegan but packed with flavors to keep you energized. It’s like a warm hug in a bowl, perfect for those chilly mornings or when you need a quick, nutritious breakfast.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats (I love the texture they bring, plus they’re a pantry staple for me)
  • 2 cups almond milk (or any plant-based milk you fancy; almond gives a nice creamy touch)
  • 1 medium apple, diced (go for Honeycrisp if you can, they’re sweet and crisp)
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup (the real deal, none of that imitation stuff)
  • 1 tsp cinnamon (because what’s apple oatmeal without it?)
  • A pinch of salt (just a tiny one to balance the sweetness)

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats and almond milk. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
  2. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 5 minutes, or until the oats have absorbed most of the milk and thickened to your liking. Tip: Keep an eye on it to prevent sticking.
  3. Stir in the diced apple, maple syrup, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, just until the apples are slightly softened but still have a bit of crunch. Tip: If you prefer softer apples, add them earlier.
  4. Remove from heat and let it sit for a minute. This allows the oatmeal to thicken up a bit more. Tip: A quick rest makes all the difference in texture.

Dig into this delightful bowl where the sweetness of apples and warmth of cinnamon play perfectly with the creamy oats. Top with a drizzle of extra maple syrup or a sprinkle of nuts for an extra crunch. It’s a simple dish that feels anything but ordinary.

Ingredients

  • 4 cups of peeled, sliced apples (I like a mix of Granny Smith and Honeycrisp for balance)
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats (the old-fashioned kind gives the best texture)
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (or a gluten-free blend if that’s your thing)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar (packed, because it’s all about that moisture)
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil, solid (this is my secret for a crispier topping)
  • 1 tsp cinnamon (don’t skimp—it’s the soul of the dish)
  • 1/4 tsp salt (just a pinch to make everything pop)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures everything bakes evenly.
  2. Toss the sliced apples with half the cinnamon in a bowl. Tip: Let them sit for a few minutes to get juicy.
  3. In another bowl, mix the oats, flour, brown sugar, remaining cinnamon, and salt. Tip: Use your fingers to blend in the coconut oil until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs.
  4. Spread the apples in a greased 8×8 baking dish. Sprinkle the oat mixture evenly on top. Tip: Press lightly so the topping sticks but stays crumbly.
  5. Bake for 30-35 minutes, until the topping is golden and the apples are bubbly. Let it cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Absolutely divine when served warm with a scoop of vegan vanilla ice cream. The contrast of the crispy topping with the soft, spiced apples is a game-changer. Try it for breakfast with a dollop of almond yogurt—trust me, it works.

Apple Sauce Vegan

Apple Sauce Vegan

Fancy a quick, delicious treat that’s both vegan and super easy to make? You’re in luck because this apple sauce recipe is just what you need for a sweet, comforting snack or a healthy dessert option.

Ingredients

  • 4 large apples, peeled and cored (I like using Honeycrisp for their sweetness and texture)
  • 1/2 cup water (filtered tastes best here)
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice (freshly squeezed makes all the difference)
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon (because everything’s better with a little spice)
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup (the real deal, not the imitation stuff)

Instructions

  1. Chop the peeled and cored apples into small, even pieces to ensure they cook uniformly.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine the chopped apples, water, and lemon juice. The lemon juice not only adds flavor but also keeps the apples from browning.
  3. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the apples are soft and mushy, about 15-20 minutes. Tip: If the mixture starts to dry out, add a little more water.
  4. Once the apples are soft, remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the cinnamon and maple syrup. Tip: For a smoother sauce, you can blend it briefly with an immersion blender.
  5. Let the apple sauce cool to room temperature before serving. Tip: It thickens as it cools, so don’t worry if it seems a bit runny at first.

Enjoy this apple sauce as is, or get creative by swirling it into oatmeal or yogurt. Either way, its naturally sweet flavor and smooth texture are sure to please.

Vegan Apple Muffins

Vegan Apple Muffins

Got a bunch of apples sitting around? Let’s turn them into something delicious—vegan apple muffins that are perfect for breakfast or a snack. You’ll love how easy and satisfying these are to make.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup sugar (adjust if you like it less sweet)
  • 1 tbsp baking powder (fresh is best for maximum rise)
  • 1/2 tsp salt (I use sea salt for a cleaner taste)
  • 1 cup almond milk (any plant milk works, but almond is my favorite here)
  • 1/3 cup coconut oil, melted (extra virgin gives a nice flavor)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (pure extract makes all the difference)
  • 1 1/2 cups diced apples (I leave the skin on for texture and nutrients)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease lightly.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  3. In another bowl, mix the almond milk, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Tip: Make sure your coconut oil isn’t too hot to avoid cooking the milk.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Overmixing leads to tough muffins.
  5. Gently fold in the diced apples. Tip: Tossing the apples in a bit of flour first helps prevent them from sinking to the bottom.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Tip: Rotate the pan halfway through for even baking.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, mix the flour, water, vegetable oil, and apple cider vinegar until a dough forms. Tip: If the dough feels sticky, add a little more flour.
  3. On a floured surface, roll the dough into a thin rectangle. The thinner, the crispier your strudel will be.
  4. In another bowl, toss the apple slices with brown sugar, cinnamon, and breadcrumbs until evenly coated.
  5. Spread the apple mixture over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
  6. Carefully roll the dough into a log, sealing the edges by pinching them together. Tip: A little water on the edges helps them stick better.
  7. Place the strudel on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until golden brown. Tip: Let it cool for 10 minutes before slicing to keep the filling from oozing out.

Absolutely delightful, this vegan apple strudel boasts a crispy exterior with a soft, sweet apple filling. Serve it warm with a scoop of vegan ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.

Apple Cinnamon Vegan Ice Cream

Apple Cinnamon Vegan Ice Cream

So, you’re craving something sweet, creamy, and totally plant-based? This apple cinnamon vegan ice cream is your answer. It’s like fall in a bowl, but hey, who says you can’t enjoy it year-round?

Ingredients

  • 2 cups unsweetened almond milk (I find it gives the creamiest texture)
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup (the real deal, none of that pancake stuff)
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract (splurge on the good stuff here)
  • 2 medium apples, peeled and diced (Fuji or Honeycrisp work wonders)
  • 1 tsp cinnamon (because more is always better)
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg (just a pinch to spice things up)
  • 1/4 tsp salt (balances the sweetness perfectly)

Instructions

  1. In a blender, combine almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, diced apples, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Blend until smooth.
  2. Pour the mixture into your ice cream maker. Churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, usually about 20-25 minutes. Tip: If you don’t have an ice cream maker, freeze the mixture in a shallow dish, stirring every 30 minutes until desired consistency is reached.
  3. Once churned, transfer the ice cream to a freezer-safe container. Freeze for at least 2 hours to firm up. Tip: Lay a piece of parchment paper directly on the surface to prevent ice crystals.
  4. Serve scoops of your apple cinnamon vegan ice cream in bowls. Tip: Top with extra diced apples and a sprinkle of cinnamon for that extra flair.

Perfectly creamy with just the right amount of spice, this ice cream is a dream. Try it sandwiched between two vegan cookies for an epic dessert hack.

Vegan Apple Cookies

Vegan Apple Cookies

Alright, you’re in for a treat with these vegan apple cookies—they’re the perfect blend of sweet, spicy, and everything nice. Imagine biting into a soft, chewy cookie with little bursts of apple goodness; that’s what you’re making today.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (I like to sift mine for extra fluffiness)
  • 1/2 cup coconut oil, melted (extra virgin is my go-to for its subtle sweetness)
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar (pack it tight for that rich molasses flavor)
  • 1 flax egg (1 tbsp ground flaxseed + 3 tbsp water, let it sit for 5 mins—it’s a game changer)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (the real deal, not imitation)
  • 1 tsp cinnamon (because what’s an apple cookie without it?)
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda (freshness is key—check the date)
  • 1/4 tsp salt (just a pinch to balance the sweetness)
  • 1 cup diced apples (I prefer Granny Smith for a tart contrast)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil and brown sugar until smooth.
  3. Add the flax egg and vanilla extract to the bowl, mixing well to combine.
  4. Sift in the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt, stirring until just mixed—overworking the dough makes tough cookies.
  5. Fold in the diced apples gently, ensuring they’re evenly distributed.
  6. Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden but the centers are still soft.
  8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Perfectly spiced and wonderfully moist, these cookies are a dream with a cup of tea. Try serving them warm with a dollop of vegan ice cream for an extra special treat.

  • 1 tsp cinnamon (because you can never have too much)
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt (just a pinch to balance the sweetness)
