Method
 

Make the Apple Cinnamon Swirls
  1. Prep the ingredients. Make sure that the puff pastry is fully thawed and ready to roll. Wash and grate one apple. In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and cinnamon. Warm the vegan butter till it is very soft.
  2. Make the rolls. Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface until it reaches 10x14-inches (25x35-cm) in size. Spread the soft butter over top. Sprinkle on the cinnamon sugar mixture and then the apples. Cut into 12 even strips. Roll each up.
  3. Bake. Place one roll into an ungreased muffin tin. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy. Let them cool for 10 minutes before pouring over a simple icing, if desired.
Make the Simple Icing
  1. Mix. In a small bowl, mix together the powdered sugar and water. Drizzle over top the slightly cooled cinnamon rolls. Serve and enjoy!

How to Store

Countertop: Cover in an airtight container and store frosted or unfrosted cinnamon rolls on the countertop for up to 2 days.
Fridge: Cover in an airtight container and store both frosted or unfrosted cinnamon rolls in the fridge for up to 5 days. I like to enjoy them both cold or warmed!
Freezer: Baked and cooled apple cinnamon rolls can be wrapped up tight and stored in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight and warm up before serving.
