Equipment
- Baking Dish
- Oven
Ingredients
- 1 package cinnamon roll dough (store-bought or homemade) cut into individual rolls
- 3 large apples peeled, cored, and sliced
- 2 tablespoons butter melted and used to coat apples
- 0.5 cup brown sugar for sprinkling over apples
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon ground, mixed with apples
- Optional walnuts or cranberries for extra flavor and texture
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly spray your baking dish with non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
- Arrange the sliced apples evenly in the prepared baking dish as the first layer, creating a colorful base.
- Drizzle the melted butter over the apples, then sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon to coat them evenly and bring out their sweetness.
- Place the cinnamon rolls on top of the apple layer, arranging them closely together so they touch but don’t overlap excessively.
- If desired, sprinkle chopped walnuts or cranberries over the cinnamon rolls for added texture and flavor.
- Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, until the cinnamon rolls are golden brown and bubbling around the edges.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes, allowing the filling to set slightly and the aroma to fill the room.
- Serve warm, spooning generous portions onto plates, letting the caramelized apples and soft cinnamon rolls create a comforting, luscious bite.
