Apple Cinnamon Lasagna Roll

by

Ingredients:

  • 2 packets of cinnamon rolls
  • 4 large apples, peeled and diced (Granny Smith or Golden Delicious)
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup caramel sauce (or salted caramel sauce if you prefer)

How To Make Apple Cinnamon Lasagna Roll:

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 375°F and spray an 8″ x 8″ x 2″ glass or ceramic dish with nonstick spray (I used a 7″ x 9″ x 2″ ceramic dish).
  2. Prepare Apple Filling: In a bowl, mix apple cubes, sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and nutmeg to coat evenly.
  3. Prepare Cinnamon Rolls: Cut the cinnamon rolls into 1/2-inch strips and roll them out on a floured work surface until fluffy. Sprinkle with flour to prevent sticking.
  4. Assemble the Layers: Arrange the first layer of flattened cinnamon rolls on the bottom and sides of the dish, pressing them to seal well.
  5. Add Apple Filling: Spread half of the apple filling and drizzle 2-3 tablespoons of caramel sauce on top. Cover with another layer of cinnamon rolls.
  6. Repeat Layers: Repeat the process with the remaining apples and caramel sauce. Cover with the remaining flat cinnamon rolls.
  7. Bake: Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until the top is golden brown.
  8. Cool and Serve: Allow it to cool for at least 30 minutes, drizzle with the icing (which comes with the cinnamon rolls), and serve.
