Ingredients

FOR THE ROLL:

  • 1 cup whole spelt flour about 148 grams
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • ¼ cup applesauce
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 5-6 Tablespoons milk of your choice
  • ½ teaspoon apple cider vinegar

FOR THE CINNAMON SUGAR FILLING:

  • 4 teaspoons softened butter or coconut oil
  • 2 Tablespoons coconut sugar
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon

Instructions

FOR THE ROLL:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • Cut in the applesauce so that the mixture looks 'pebbly'.
  • Stir in four tablespoons of milk, vanilla, and vinegar, adding extra milk as needed. The dough should all be moist, but NOT sticky. If it happens to get too sticky, just add a bit more flour.
  • Knead the dough a bit until it is smooth.
  • Form a ball and cover the dough with a bowl for five minutes.
  • Meanwhile, stir together the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.
  • After the dough has rested, divide it into four.
  • Roll out each piece into an oval shape. It should be about 1/8-1/4 inch thick.
  • Spread each piece with one teaspoon of butter or coconut oil (if using).
  • Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture equally onto each piece (you can save a bit for the top if you like).
  • Carefully roll the dough, jellyroll-style.
  • Cut each roll in half.
  • Place the rolls into a small oiled baking dish (sprinkle with any remaining cinnamon sugar).
  • Bake for 12-13 minutes.
