There’s nothing quite like gathering the family around for a cozy afternoon treat, and let me tell you, honey – this Caramel Apple Cinnamon Roll Casserole is about to become your new obsession! As a busy mom who loves creating memories in the kitchen, I stumbled upon this recipe during one of those “what do I make?” moments, and it’s been a game-changer ever since.
Picture this: warm, gooey cinnamon rolls layered with fresh apple slices, drenched in a homemade caramel sauce that’ll make your knees weak. Trust me, the aroma alone will have your family running to the kitchen faster than you can say “dessert”!
What You’ll Need:
– 2 cans of refrigerated cinnamon rolls (with icing)
– 3 medium Granny Smith apples, thinly sliced
– 1/2 cup butter
– 1 cup brown sugar
– 1/4 cup heavy cream
– 1 tsp vanilla extract
– 1 tsp cinnamon
– Pinch of salt
Ladies (and gents!), let’s get cooking!
1. Preheat that oven to 350°F (because patience is a virtue we don’t have time for 😉)
2. Cut each cinnamon roll into quarters (save that icing for later, we’re not savages!)
3. Layer half the cinnamon roll pieces in a greased 9×13 baking dish
4. Arrange those apple slices like you’re creating a masterpiece
5. Add remaining cinnamon roll pieces on top
Now for the sauce that’ll make you famous at PTA meetings:
1. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat
2. Add brown sugar, cream, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt
3. Let it bubble for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally
4. Pour this liquid gold all over your casserole
Bake for 40-45 minutes until golden brown. Drizzle with reserved icing while warm.
