Print Recipe

A warm and comforting fall bake combining tart apples, classic cinnamon rolls, and rich salted caramel for a perfect sweet and salty treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • One 12-roll can of classic refrigerated cinnamon rolls
  • 2 medium-sized Granny Smith apples, thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • ½ cup salted caramel sauce
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Sea salt flakes, for sprinkling (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Wash and core the Granny Smith apples. Slice them thinly, about 1/8 inch thick.
  3. Toss the apple slices in a bowl with 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon and 2 tablespoons brown sugar until evenly coated.
  4. Open the cinnamon roll can and separate the rolls. Cut each roll into quarters.
  5. Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish. Layer a portion of the cinnamon roll quarters in the dish.
  6. Scatter a layer of the cinnamon-sugar coated apple slices over the cinnamon roll pieces.
  7. Repeat layering cinnamon roll quarters and apple slices until all are used, finishing with a top layer of cinnamon roll pieces.
  8. Warm the salted caramel sauce slightly if thick, then pour evenly over the layered cinnamon rolls and apples.
  9. Brush the melted butter evenly over the top of the bake.
  10. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes until the caramel is bubbling and the cinnamon rolls are golden and fully cooked. Tent with foil if the top browns too quickly.
  11. Remove from oven and sprinkle a pinch of sea salt flakes over the warm caramel top.
  12. Let the bake rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Thin apple slices are key for proper softening and caramelization. Warm the caramel sauce before drizzling to ensure even coverage. Tent with foil if the top browns too quickly. Let the bake rest before slicing to set the flavors and texture. Can be adapted for vegan and gluten-free diets by substituting ingredients accordingly.
