Ingredients You’ll Need

→ Main Components

01 2 cans refrigerated cinnamon rolls with icing
02 4 large apples, peeled, cored, and diced
03 1/2 cup granulated sugar
04 1 tablespoon cornstarch
05 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
06 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
07 1/4 cup caramel sauce

How to Make It

Step 01

Set oven to 375°F and lightly grease an 8x8-inch or 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 02

In a large bowl, toss diced apples with granulated sugar, cornstarch, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg until the fruit is evenly coated.

Step 03

Open the cans and separate the cinnamon rolls. Cut each into 1/4-inch rounds and use your fingers or a rolling pin to flatten each slice.

Step 04

Arrange the flattened cinnamon roll slices in the bottom of the baking dish, overlapping slightly and pressing gently to create a uniform crust.

Step 05

Spoon half of the apple mixture evenly over the cinnamon roll base and drizzle with half the caramel sauce.

Step 06

Place another layer of flattened cinnamon roll slices over the apples, covering the fruit completely.

Step 07

Layer remaining apple mixture over the second cinnamon roll layer, drizzle with remaining caramel, and finish with a final layer of cinnamon roll slices.

Step 08

Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the cinnamon rolls are golden brown and the filling is bubbly.

Extra Suggestions

  1. Allow the lasagna to cool slightly before slicing to facilitate cleaner portions and enhance flavor mingling.
