Ingredients
Scale
Cinnamon Rolls
- 2 (12.4 oz) cans refrigerated cinnamon rolls with icing
Apple Filling
- 1 (21 oz) can apple pie filling
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Toppings & Add-ins
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce (plus more for drizzling)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- Optional chopped pecans for topping
Instructions
- Prepare the Baking Dish: Preheat oven to 350°F and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking and make clean-up easier.
- Cut and Arrange Cinnamon Rolls: Open the cans of cinnamon rolls, cut each roll into quarters, and evenly place the pieces across the bottom of the prepared baking dish to create a base layer.
- Mix Apple Filling: In a bowl, combine the apple pie filling with ground cinnamon and nutmeg to enhance the fall flavors, then spoon this mixture evenly over the cinnamon roll pieces.
- Add Caramel and Butter: Drizzle caramel sauce and melted butter evenly over the apple and cinnamon roll layers to add richness and moisture.
- Bake the Cake: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 35–40 minutes or until the cinnamon rolls are golden brown and thoroughly cooked through.
- Finish with Icing and Caramel: Allow the cake to cool slightly, then drizzle the cinnamon roll icing packets and additional caramel sauce on top for extra sweetness and a glossy finish.
- Optional Toppings and Serving: Sprinkle with chopped pecans if desired for added texture and serve warm, optionally paired with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
- For a homemade touch, use fresh sautéed apples instead of canned apple pie filling.
- This dessert is delicious served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
- Chopped pecans add a nice crunch but are optional depending on preference or allergies.
