butter

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Coconut oil offers a dairy-free option while maintaining moisture.

cream cheese

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: ricotta cheese

Greek yogurt reduces calories while providing a creamy texture.

all-purpose flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: bread flour

Whole wheat flour adds fiber and nutrients.

sugar

🥗Healthier: honey

💰Cheaper: brown sugar

Honey adds natural sweetness with a unique flavor.

Start with 2 cups of self-rising flour in a mixing bowl.

Add a pinch of salt.

Add 1 teaspoon of active yeast to the flour mixture.

Add 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar and mix with a fork until evenly distributed.

Cut in 2 tablespoons of shortening using a blending fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Gradually mix in 3/4 cup of milk until a stiff dough forms, adding more if necessary.

Knead the dough a few times until smooth, about 1 minute.

Roll the dough out on a floured surface into a rectangle approximately 12 by 8 inches.

Melt 2 tablespoons of butter and brush it over the rolled-out dough.

Prepare 1/2 can of apple pie filling by chopping it into smaller pieces and mixing in 1 tablespoon of sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of apple pie spice.

Spread the apple pie filling mixture over the buttered dough, leaving space at the edges to roll.

Start rolling the dough tightly from the edge furthest away, tucking it in as you go to keep it tight.

Pinch the edges to seal after rolling, and if any filling seeps out, it's okay.
