Description
A warm, comforting breakfast bake featuring chunks of cinnamon rolls layered with sautéed cinnamon apples and topped with a sweet vanilla glaze.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tube (12.4 oz) refrigerated cinnamon rolls with icing
- 2 Granny Smith apples, peeled and diced
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350F (175C) and grease a 9×9 inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 3 tablespoons of butter. Add the diced apples, brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon.
- Sauté the apples for 5-7 minutes until they are tender and the sugar has turned into a thick, bubbling syrup.
- Cut each raw cinnamon roll into quarters using a serrated knife.
- Place half of the cinnamon roll pieces in the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
- Pour the sautéed apple mixture evenly over the dough layer, spreading it to the corners.
- Top with the remaining cinnamon roll pieces, pressing them lightly into the apples.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the dough is cooked through.
- While the casserole bakes, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a bowl until smooth.
- Remove the casserole from the oven and immediately pour the glaze over the hot rolls.
