Recipe:
Ingredients:
- 2 cans of pre-made cinnamon rolls (with icing)
- 4 large apples (peeled, cored, and diced)
- ½ cup of brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon of nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
- ½ cup of caramel sauce (plus extra for drizzling)
- ¼ cup of melted butter
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven: Set the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a square 8×8 baking dish.
- Prepare the apples: In a medium bowl, combine the diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Stir well to ensure the apples are fully coated with the sugar and spices.
- Cinnamon roll base: Open one can of cinnamon rolls and cut each roll into quarters. Place the pieces evenly along the bottom of your greased baking dish.
- Layer the apples: Spread half of the apple mixture over the cinnamon rolls in the baking dish, creating an even layer.
- Caramel drizzle: Drizzle some caramel sauce over the apple layer, ensuring you get a generous amount for a rich flavor.
- Second layer: Cut the second can of cinnamon rolls into quarters and layer them on top of the apples and caramel. Then, spread the remaining apple mixture on top.
- Final caramel and butter: Drizzle more caramel sauce over the top layer of apples. Pour the melted butter evenly over the dish to ensure the rolls bake to a golden brown.
- Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the cinnamon rolls are fully cooked and golden brown on top.
- Icing drizzle: Once the lasagna is done baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes. Drizzle the cinnamon roll icing over the top, and add an extra drizzle of caramel sauce for an extra-sweet touch.
