PLANT-BASED MILK:

• The dough needs to remain moist; hence, we use plant milk. For substitution, use any sort of vegan milk that suits you.

BROWN SUGAR:

• Apples will have a caramel taste when we use brown sugar in the dessert. Also, brown sugar will overall make the dumplings sweeter. Another idea can be white sugar if you require a substitute.
