Substitutions:

Apples- Any type of apples will work in this recipe. You can use gala, Fiji, honeycrisp, etc.

Egg- Try substituting the egg with a flax egg. For flax egg add 1 tbsp of ground flaxseed with 4 tbsp water and let sit for 15 minutes.

Non-dairy milk- Any milk you prefer will work for this recipe, for example cow milk, almond milk, soy milk, etc.

Spelt Flour- This can be substituted with all-purpose flour or whole wheat flour.

I recommend to freeze any leftovers you have instead of putting in the refrigerator and when ready to eat, heat for 25-30 seconds in microwave, let cool and serve.
