Cinnamon Roll Apple “Lasagna”

Cinnamon Roll Apple “Lasagna” is a warm, layered dessert with spiced apples, caramel, and cinnamon rolls, finished with icing. Baked until golden and bubbling, it's a cozy crowd-pleaser for fall or anytime.

Ingredients
  

For the Apple Filling:

  • 4 cups peeled diced apples (about 4 medium apples)
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg

For the Cinnamon Roll Layers:

  • 2 cans refrigerated cinnamon rolls 8 rolls per can, with icing packets included
  • Extra flour for dusting

For the Caramel Drizzle:

  • ¼ cup caramel sauce homemade or store-bought

Instructions
 

  • Heat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick spray.
  • In a bowl, mix the diced apples with sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir well and set aside.
  • Open the cinnamon rolls and save the icing. Cut each roll into thick slices, then press or roll them into flat 3–4 inch circles.
  • Then, build the Layers
  • Bottom Layer: Place flattened rolls on the bottom of the dish, slightly overlapping.
  • First Apple Layer: Spread half the apple mix over the rolls. Drizzle with caramel.
  • Second Roll Layer: Add another layer of flattened rolls.
  • Second Apple Layer: Spread the rest of the apples on top. Add more caramel.
  • Top Layer: Finish with a final layer of rolls. Drizzle with the last bit of caramel.
  • Bake with Foil (30 Minutes): Cover the dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes so the apples can cook and soften.
  • Bake Without Foil (10 Minutes): Remove the foil and bake for 10 more minutes until the top is golden and bubbly.
  • Let it cool for 15 minutes. Drizzle the saved icing over the top.
  • Cut into squares and serve warm. Great with ice cream or whipped cream!
