Ingredients
Scale
Cinnamon Roll Mixture
- 2 cans of cinnamon roll dough
- 2 cups of diced apples
- 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
- 1/4 cup of brown sugar
Toppings
- 1 cup of caramel sauce
- 1/2 cup of chopped pecans
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for baking the dish evenly.
- Prepare Baking Dish: Grease a baking dish to prevent the cinnamon roll bake from sticking and to make serving easier.
- Cut Dough: Cut the cinnamon roll dough into quarters to create bite-sized pieces that will mix well with the apple filling.
- Mix Apples: In a bowl, combine the diced apples with cinnamon and brown sugar. This will infuse the apples with warm spice and sweetness, enhancing the overall flavor.
- Toss Dough and Apples: Add the cinnamon roll pieces to the apple mixture and toss until all pieces are coated evenly with the spiced apples and sugar.
- Assemble Bake: Pour the coated cinnamon roll and apple mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
- Add Caramel: Drizzle caramel sauce generously over the top of the assembled cinnamon roll and apple mixture for a rich, sweet finish.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the cinnamon rolls are golden brown and cooked through.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the bake to cool for a few minutes before serving to let the caramel set slightly and avoid burning.
Notes
- Use firm apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for the best texture.
- Add chopped pecans on top before baking for added crunch and flavor.
- For extra indulgence, serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator and reheat before serving.
- You can substitute caramel sauce with dulce de leche for a creamier alternative.
