This recipe combines the gooey deliciousness of cinnamon rolls with the classic comfort of french toast, topped with caramelized apples that’ll make your kitchen smell like heaven.
What You’ll Need:
– 2 cans of refrigerated cinnamon rolls (with icing!)

Now, let’s get cooking:
1. First things first, preheat that oven to 375°F. Grab a 9×13 baking dish and give it a good spray with cooking spray. (Don’t skip this step unless you enjoy scrubbing dishes for hours!)
1. Cut each cinnamon roll into quarters. Girl, I know it’s tempting to sneak a bite, but resist! Arrange them in the baking dish.
1. In a bowl, whisk together eggs, heavy cream, vanilla, and cinnamon until smooth. Pour this mixture all over those cinnamon roll pieces. Make it rain!
1. Now for the apple magic: In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add diced apples and brown sugar. Cook until the apples are tender and caramelized (about 5-7 minutes). Spread this heavenly mixture over the cinnamon rolls.
1. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and set in the middle.
1. Remember that icing that came with the rolls? Warm it up and drizzle it ALL over the top. Don’t be shy – we’re not counting calories today!
Let me tell you, this breakfast casserole is perfect for lazy Sunday mornings, holiday breakfasts, or when you just need to impress someone (wink wink). It’s like a warm hug for your taste buds!
Pro tip: Want to prep this the night before? Go for it! Just cover and refrigerate before baking, then add an extra 10 minutes to the baking time in the morning.
