Description
Cinnamon Roll Apple Lasagna is a decadent, layered creation that combines the irresistible flavors of cinnamon rolls, creamy cheesecake, and tart apple pie filling. This irresistible dish is the perfect way to cozy up and savor the cozy flavors of fall.
Ingredients
- 2 cans refrigerated cinnamon rolls (with icing)
- 4 cup apple pie filling
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
- 8 ounce cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup whipped topping
- Caramel sauce (for drizzling)
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. Separate the cinnamon rolls and set the icing aside. Flatten each roll slightly and place half on the bottom of the baking dish to form a crust.
2. Bake the bottom layer of cinnamon rolls for about 10 minutes until slightly puffed but not fully cooked.
3. In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Fold in the whipped topping.
4. In another bowl, mix the apple pie filling with cinnamon and nutmeg.
5. Spread half of the apple mixture over the baked cinnamon roll layer. Add a layer of the cream cheese mixture. Repeat with the remaining cinnamon rolls, apple mixture, and cream mixture.
6. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 25–30 minutes until bubbly and golden.
7. Drizzle the reserved cinnamon roll icing and caramel sauce over the top. Let the lasagna cool slightly before slicing. Serve this cozy fall dessert warm or chilled – either way, it’s sure to delight your taste buds!
Notes
To achieve the perfect texture, be sure not to overbake the cinnamon roll base layer. You want it to be just slightly puffed, not fully cooked. This will help create a sturdy foundation for the other layers. For serving, consider adding a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream to enhance the flavors. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, or frozen for up to 3 months for a convenient dessert option down the line.
