- 2 cans of refrigerated cinnamon roll dough (with icing) - 3 large apples, peeled, cored, and diced (preferably Granny Smith) - 1/2 cup caramel sauce, plus extra for drizzling - 1 teaspoon cinnamon - 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg - 1/4 cup brown sugar - 1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional) - 1/2 cup raisins (optional) - Cooking spray or butter for greasing - 9x13-inch baking dish To make this treat, you need simple ingredients. The cinnamon roll dough gives a fluffy base. Granny Smith apples add a tart bite. The caramel sauce brings sweetness and richness. Cinnamon and nutmeg spice up the flavor, making it warm and cozy. Brown sugar adds extra sweetness and depth. Pecans and raisins are great optional mix-ins for crunch and chew. Prepare your baking dish with cooking spray or butter. This helps prevent sticking. The size of the dish is important. A 9x13-inch dish is perfect for even baking. - Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). - Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter. - In a large bowl, mix the diced apples, caramel sauce, cinnamon, nutmeg, and brown sugar. - For added flavor, stir in chopped pecans or raisins if you like. - Open the refrigerated cinnamon roll dough and cut each roll into quarters. - Toss the quartered rolls in the apple mixture until they are well coated. - Pour the entire mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. - Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes. Look for golden brown rolls. To ensure even cooking, cut the cinnamon rolls into quarters. This gives each piece a chance to soak up the flavors. Next, mix the apple and caramel mixture well. This way, every bite bursts with sweetness. For toppings, I suggest drizzling extra caramel sauce on top. You can also sprinkle chopped pecans for crunch. Pair this bake with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. The cold creaminess balances the warm cinnamon rolls perfectly. Be careful not to overbake or underbake your dish. The center should be soft, but the rolls need to be golden brown. Another mistake is not evenly spreading the filling. Make sure every piece of dough gets coated for the best flavor. {{image_2}} You can make this bake even more fun. Try adding different fruits like pears or berries. These fruits bring new flavors and textures. Each bite can taste unique. You can also switch up the nuts. Use walnuts or almonds instead of pecans. This change can add a nice crunch and flavor twist. Experimenting makes the dish your own! If you need gluten-free options, look for gluten-free cinnamon roll dough. Many brands offer this now. You can also find vegan caramel and dough. Plant-based options are tasty and fit many diets. Check labels to ensure they meet your needs. These swaps help everyone enjoy this treat! Seasonal flavors can make this bake special. In fall, add pumpkin spice for a warm taste. This spice pairs well with apples and caramel. For summer, consider using fresh berries like blueberries or strawberries. These fruits add brightness and a fresh twist. Adapting your bake for the seasons keeps it exciting! To store leftovers, let the bake cool completely. Then, cover it tightly with plastic wrap or foil. You can also place it in an airtight container. This keeps it fresh for up to three days. To reheat, use the oven for best results. Preheat it to 350°F (175°C). Place the bake in a baking dish and cover it with foil. Heat for about 15-20 minutes. This keeps the texture soft and delicious. You can also microwave individual portions for 30-60 seconds. Just be careful to not overheat, or you may dry it out. You can freeze individual portions of the bake. First, let it cool completely. Wrap each portion tightly in plastic wrap and then place it in a freezer bag. This method stops freezer burn and keeps it tasty. To thaw, move it to the fridge overnight. For reheating, follow the same oven instructions. You can also microwave thawed portions for a quick snack. You can leave out the pecans. Just skip that step in the recipe. The bake will still taste great without nuts. If you want some crunch, try adding extra apples or raisins. These will keep the texture nice and fun. Yes, you can! Prepare the apple mixture and cinnamon rolls the night before. Store them in the fridge in a covered bowl. In the morning, just pour the mix into the dish and bake. This saves time and makes breakfast easy. If you need a substitute, try using honey or maple syrup. You can also make a simple sauce with brown sugar and butter. Just melt them together for a sweet topping. This will give a nice flavor, too. Check the bake after 30 minutes. Look for a golden brown color on the top. You can also insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the bake is ready. Enjoy the sweet smell while it cools!

Ingredients
  

2 cans of refrigerated cinnamon roll dough (with icing)

3 large apples, peeled, cored, and diced (preferably Granny Smith)

1/2 cup caramel sauce, plus extra for drizzling

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

1/4 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional)

1/2 cup raisins (optional)

Cooking spray or butter for greasing the baking dish

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.

    In a large bowl, mix the diced apples, caramel sauce, cinnamon, nutmeg, brown sugar, chopped pecans, and raisins until well combined. Set aside.

      Open the refrigerated cinnamon roll dough and cut each roll into quarters. Add the quartered rolls to the apple mixture and gently toss to coat the dough pieces evenly.

        Pour the entire mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

          Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the cinnamon rolls are golden brown and cooked through.

            While the bake is cooling for about 5 minutes, heat the icing included with the cinnamon rolls to make it easier to drizzle.

              Drizzle the warmed icing and additional caramel sauce over the top of the cinnamon roll bake before serving.
