Ohhhh yes—Caramel Apple Cinnamon Roll Lasagna is pure indulgence 🍎🍥🍯
Think: layers of gooey cinnamon rolls, sweet spiced apples, and rich caramel—baked into one ultimate dessert.
Here’s a recipe that captures that vibe:
🍎 Caramel Apple Cinnamon Roll Lasagna
Ingredients
Cinnamon Rolls Layer
- 2 cans of refrigerated cinnamon rolls (with icing)
Apple Filling
- 3 medium apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced or diced
- 2 tbsp butter
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ¼ tsp nutmeg (optional)
Caramel Sauce
- ½ cup store-bought caramel sauce (or homemade)
Cream Cheese Layer (optional but elite)
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla
Instructions
- Prep apples:
In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Cook 5–7 minutes until tender but not mushy. Set aside. - Prep cinnamon rolls:
Cut each roll into quarters or slices, depending on pan size. - Assemble “lasagna”:
- Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish.
- Layer 1: Cinnamon roll pieces (cover the bottom).
- Layer 2: Half of apple mixture.
- Layer 3: Drizzle caramel sauce.
- Layer 4: Optional cream cheese layer (spread cream cheese mixture thinly).
- Repeat layers, finishing with a layer of cinnamon rolls and drizzle caramel on top.
- Bake:
Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25–30 minutes, until cinnamon rolls are golden and cooked through. - Top & serve:
Drizzle remaining icing or caramel sauce over warm lasagna. Serve warm; perfect with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
🔥 Pro Tips
- Use firm apples like Honeycrisp or Granny Smith to prevent mushiness.
- For extra gooeyness, drizzle a little extra caramel between layers.
- Let cool 5–10 minutes so the layers hold together but still warm and melty.
I can also make a “quick, 20-minute shortcut version” using canned apple pie filling and pre-made caramel drizzle—it’s basically instant indulgence.
Do you want me to make that shortcut version too?
