Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 (8-count) cans refrigerated cinnamon rolls with icing
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Cook Apple Mixture: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Add the diced apples, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Sauté for 5 to 7 minutes until the apples soften and become slightly caramelized. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Prepare Cinnamon Rolls: Open the cans of cinnamon rolls and cut each roll into quarters.
- Layer the Bake: Arrange half of the quartered cinnamon rolls evenly in the prepared baking dish. Spoon half of the apple mixture over the cinnamon rolls. Repeat with the remaining cinnamon rolls and apple mixture, layering evenly.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the cinnamon rolls are golden brown and fully cooked through.
- Add Icing and Serve: Remove the bake from the oven and allow it to cool slightly. Drizzle the icing that comes with the cinnamon rolls evenly across the top. Serve warm for a deliciously sweet and spiced treat.
Notes
- For added texture and flavor, sprinkle chopped pecans or walnuts over the apple layers before baking.
- This bake is an ideal choice for holiday breakfasts, festive brunches, or cozy fall desserts.
- Use tart apples like Granny Smith for a better balance of sweetness and tartness.
- Make sure not to overcook the apples during sautéing to retain some bite and texture.
