The Recipe

Vegan Sugar Coated Apricot Dumplings

Ingredients

For the yeast dough:

4 cups / 500 g all-purpose flour

3.9 ounces / 110 g vegan butter, melted

1 teaspoon active-dry yeast

1 cup / 250 ml warm plant-based milk (I used oat milk)

3 teaspoons sugar

dash of salt

For the filling:

12 ripe apricots, pitted

For the coating:

1/3 cup sugar

1 teaspoon cinnamon


vegetable oil for frying 

Instructions

1. In a bowl combine flour, sugar, salt, melted vegan butter, warm milk and yeast. Knead until dough is smooth. Let rise for about 30-40 minutes. Meanwhile prepare a bowl with the sugar and cinnamon mix and set aside for later.

2. On a working surface divide dough into 12 equal pieces. Roll out each dough flat, place a pitted apricot in the center and close the dough and make a ball. Repeat with the remaining dough.

3.  In a pot heat vegetable oil until thermometer shows 350 °F / 180 °C. Transfer the doughnuts to the pan and fry them golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes per side. 

4. Transfer them to a wire rack and allow them to cool down. Dip each dumpling into the sugar and cinnamon mix. Serve immediately and ENJOY!
