Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cans cinnamon rolls (quartered)
- 2 cans fried apples (cut smaller)
Dairy:
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) heavy cream
Topping:
- 1 drizzle icing (from the cinnamon rolls)
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 350F (175C), creating an ideal baking environment for the dessert.
- Generously coat a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter, ensuring smooth release after cooking.
- Distribute quartered cinnamon rolls across the buttered pan, creating an even base layer.
- Carefully spread drained, chopped fried apples between and around the cinnamon roll pieces.
- Gently cascade heavy cream over the entire mixture, allowing it to seep between the rolls and apples.
- Transfer the prepared dish to the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes until the tops turn a rich golden brown and the rolls appear fully cooked.
- Immediately after removing from the oven, drizzle the reserved cinnamon roll icing across the surface while the dessert remains warm.
- Allow the bake to rest for 5-10 minutes, permitting the cream to set and flavors to meld before serving.
Notes
- Elevate the dish by using freshly picked, crisp apples for maximum flavor and texture in your bake.
- Experiment with different apple varieties like Honeycrisp or Granny Smith to create unique taste profiles.
- For a gluten-free version, swap regular cinnamon rolls with gluten-free alternatives to accommodate dietary restrictions.
- Enhance the richness by adding a sprinkle of chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts before baking for extra crunch and depth.
