Instructions

Prepare the dough by combining warmed dairy-free milk, sugar, and yeast in a bowl until foamy. Mix in flour and other ingredients to form a shaggy dough.
Knead the dough until smooth and elastic, then let it rise until doubled in size.
While the dough rises, prepare the cream cheese filling and apple filling separately.
Once risen, divide the dough into pieces, shape them into balls, and create a space for fillings.
Fill each bun with cream cheese and apple mixture before topping with crumble.
Bake at 375°F (190°C) for about 20 minutes until golden brown.
