Apple Pie Cinnamon Rolls
Recipe by The Daily Kale

Ingredients:
2 cups almond flour
3 tbsp @Lakanto golden monkfruit
2 tbsp psyllium husk
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
3 tbsp coconut oil (melted)
3/4 cup almond milk

Filling:
1/2 pink lady apple
2 tbsp maple syrup (@choczero )
3 tbsp Lakanto golden
1 tbsp coconut oil
2 tsp cinnamon
2 tsp nutmeg
Pinch of salt
Directions:
For the filling, blend everything together until it makes an apple sauce like consistency.

Cream cheese Icing ingredients:
6 tbsp cream cheese(softened @kitehillfoods)
1 tbsp @lakanto golden
1 tsp lemon juice
2 tbsp maple syrup
Pinch of nutmeg and cinnamon
Directions:
Stir everything together until it’s smooth and creamy.

Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350.
For the dough, mix all dry ingredients together first, then add in the wet and stir.
Then knead the dough in the bowl a little, forming a ball.
Let dough ball sit for 5-10 minutes covered before rolling out into a rectangle.
*This is an important step as it gives the psyllium husk time to combine with the other ingredients, so the dough won’t break as much.

Spread the filling evenly all over the dough, don’t get too close to the edges cause you’re going to be rolling that area. Add crushed mini bunuelos on top of the filling (optional). Roll width wise, slowly and with the help of your parchment paper so it doesn’t break.

Once it’s in a long roll, cut into the sizes you prefer and place on a *sprayed with oil* parchment paper lined pan. Press them down a bit if you want to.

Bake for 20-25 minutes.

Add crushed mini bunuelos to the top and pour or drizzle on the cream cheese frosting.
