Caramel Apple Cinnamon Roll Casserole
This quick and easy casserole combines tender baked apples with pillowy cinnamon rolls, all glazed with gooey caramel, creating a comforting dessert with minimal fuss.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 can cinnamon rolls (regular size, with icing if you like extra glaze)
- 2 cups diced apples (about 2 medium apples; firm varieties like Honeycrisp, Granny Smith, or Fuji work well) Choose firm apples that hold shape when baked.
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or warmed jarred caramel) Optionally, swap for dulce de leche for deeper flavor.
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9-inch or similar-size baking dish with butter or nonstick spray.
- Spread the diced apples evenly across the bottom of the prepared dish.
- Cut each cinnamon roll into quarters and arrange the pieces over the apples in a single layer.
- Drizzle the caramel sauce evenly over the top of the cinnamon roll pieces and apples. Rotate the dish to help the caramel drizzle into crevices if needed.
Baking
- Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the cinnamon rolls are golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly for 5–10 minutes so the caramel sets a little. Serve warm.
Notes
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. You can also add a dusting of powdered sugar and a side of Greek yogurt for a light breakfast option. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3–4 days.
