Description

This Caramel Apple Cinnamon Roll Bake is a warm, decadent dessert that combines soft cinnamon rolls with sweet, spiced apples and gooey caramel sauce. Perfect for breakfast or a comforting dessert, it features tender baked cinnamon rolls tossed with cinnamon-spiced apples, topped with rich caramel and crunchy pecans for an irresistible treat.

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

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for baking the dish evenly.
  2. Prepare Baking Dish: Grease a baking dish to prevent the cinnamon roll bake from sticking and to make serving easier.
  3. Cut Dough: Cut the cinnamon roll dough into quarters to create bite-sized pieces that will mix well with the apple filling.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Assemble Bake: Pour the coated cinnamon roll and apple mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
  7. Add Caramel: Drizzle caramel sauce generously over the top of the assembled cinnamon roll and apple mixture for a rich, sweet finish.
  8. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the cinnamon rolls are golden brown and cooked through.
  9. 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.
