Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cans cinnamon rolls
- 2 cups diced apples
Supporting Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup chopped nuts
Finishing Ingredients:
- ¼ cup maple syrup
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F and generously coat a 9×13 inch baking dish with cooking spray so your rolls won’t stick.
- Open two 12.4-ounce cans of cinnamon rolls and slice each roll into four equal quarters, creating bite-sized pieces.
- Arrange the quartered cinnamon roll pieces evenly across the prepared baking dish, creating a loose layer.
- Dice 2 cups of fresh apples into small, uniform cubes about ½ inch in size.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the diced apples with 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ¼ cup brown sugar, and ½ cup chopped nuts if you enjoy extra crunch.
- Carefully distribute the apple-spice mixture across the cinnamon roll pieces, ensuring even coverage.
- Drizzle ¼ cup maple syrup evenly over the entire dish, allowing it to seep between the rolls and apples.
- Slide the baking dish into the preheated 350F oven and bake for 28-32 minutes until the top turns golden brown and the apples soften.
- Remove from the oven and let the dish rest for 5-7 minutes before serving warm.
Notes
- Toast chopped nuts briefly in a dry skillet to enhance their flavor and crunch before adding to the apple mixture.
- Swap pecans or walnuts for almonds if preferred, keeping the same measurement for consistent texture.
- Use firm baking apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp that hold their shape and provide a nice tartness against the sweet rolls.
- For a gluten-free version, select certified gluten-free cinnamon rolls and verify all other ingredients are gluten-free as well.
