Ladies, let me tell you about a breakfast recipe that’s so divine, it’ll make your taste buds dance and your Instagram followers drool! I’ve been perfecting this Caramel Apple Cinnamon Roll French Toast Bake for years, and honey, it’s worth every single calorie. 😍
Picture this: tender pieces of cinnamon rolls, soaked in a rich custard, layered with caramelized apples, and topped with a maple cream cheese glaze that’ll make you weak in the knees. This is the kind of breakfast that turns ordinary mornings into special occasions!
What You’ll Need:
– 2 cans of refrigerated cinnamon rolls (save that icing!)
– 4 large eggs
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
– 2 tablespoons maple syrup
– 3 apples, peeled and diced
– 1/2 cup brown sugar
– 4 tablespoons butter
– 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Let’s Get Cooking:
1. First things first, preheat that oven to 350°F (because nobody likes a cold oven, am I right?).
1. Cut those cinnamon rolls into bite-sized pieces. Trust me, this makes it easier to eat and way more fun to serve!
1. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, cream, vanilla, and maple syrup until smooth. This is your custard base, and it’s about to make magic happen!
1. For the apple mixture (my favorite part!), melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add those diced apples, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Cook until the apples are tender and caramelized – about 8-10 minutes. The smell alone will have your family running to the kitchen!
1. Layer half the cinnamon roll pieces in a greased 9×13 baking dish, top with half the apple mixture, then repeat layers. Pour that luscious custard all over everything.
1. Bake for 35-40 minutes until golden brown and set in the middle. While it’s baking, mix the reserved cinnamon roll icing with 2 tablespoons of maple syrup.
1. Once it’s out of the oven, drizzle that maple-icing mixture all over the top. Let it rest for 5 minutes (I know it’s hard, but patience is a virtue!).
Pro tip: Serve this baby while it’s still warm, and watch everyone’s eyes roll back in pure bliss! 😋
