To make this tasty bake, you need some easy-to-find items. Here are the must-have ingredients: - 2 cans (12.5 oz each) refrigerated cinnamon roll dough - 2 medium-sized apples, peeled, cored, and diced - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon - 1 tablespoon brown sugar - 1 cup maple syrup or caramel sauce These ingredients give the dish its sweet and warm flavor. The cinnamon roll dough makes it soft and fluffy, while the apples add a nice crunch. If you want to take your bake to the next level, consider these fun add-ins: - 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts - 1/4 cup raisins Adding nuts gives a nice texture. Raisins bring extra sweetness. Both can enhance the flavor. Don't worry if you don't have all the ingredients. Here are some easy swaps: - Use any type of apples, like Granny Smith or Fuji. - Maple syrup can be replaced with honey or agave nectar. - If you don’t have cinnamon roll dough, use biscuit dough instead. These substitutions can still create a delicious dish. Don't hesitate to mix it up! First, you need to prepare your baking dish. Grab a 9x13 inch baking dish and grease it. Use butter or cooking spray to coat the bottom and sides. This step helps the rolls come out easily after baking. Next, let’s make the apple cinnamon mixture. Take two medium-sized apples and peel them. Core and dice them into small pieces. In a large bowl, mix the diced apples with one teaspoon of ground cinnamon and one tablespoon of brown sugar. If you like nuts, add half a cup of chopped pecans or walnuts. You can also toss in a quarter cup of raisins if you want. Mix it all well and set it aside. Now, it’s time to combine everything. Open the two cans of refrigerated cinnamon roll dough. Separate the rolls and cut each one into four pieces. In a large mixing bowl, gently mix the quartered rolls with the apple mixture. Make sure every piece is coated. Pour half of the maple syrup or caramel sauce into the bottom of the greased dish. Spread it out evenly. Then, add the cinnamon roll and apple mixture on top, spreading it evenly over the sauce. Drizzle the remaining syrup or sauce on top of the mixture. Bake your dish in the preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 25 to 30 minutes. You want the rolls to be golden brown and fully cooked. While it cools, whisk together half a cup of powdered sugar with one tablespoon of milk to make a glaze. Adjust the milk to your desired thickness. Once the bake cools a bit, drizzle the glaze on top and enjoy! To get great rolls, always preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This helps them cook evenly. Use a 9x13 inch baking dish and grease it well. This prevents sticking. Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes. Check for a golden brown color on top. If they look too brown, cover them with foil. Serve the rolls warm for the best flavor. Drizzle the glaze on top just before serving. You can also add a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a tasty twist. If you like nuts, sprinkle some chopped pecans or walnuts on top. This adds a nice crunch. A common mistake is using cold dough. Always let the cinnamon roll dough sit at room temperature. This makes it easier to cut and mix. Another mistake is overbaking. Keep an eye on the rolls as they bake. Lastly, don’t skip the glaze! It adds sweetness and makes the dish shine. {{image_2}} You can switch up the apples for other fruits. Pears work great in this dish. They add a nice sweetness and soft texture. You can also try berries like blueberries or raspberries. They give a fresh, tart taste. Peaches or cherries are fun, too. Just make sure to cut them small, like the apples. This helps them cook well and blend with the rolls. Adding spices can change the whole taste. Try nutmeg for a warm flavor. A bit of ginger can add a fun kick. You could also use vanilla or almond extract. Just a teaspoon goes a long way. Mixing in some orange zest brings a bright note. It makes your bake smell amazing, too. Feel free to get creative with your favorite flavors! While maple syrup is classic, you can explore other sauces. Caramel sauce gives a rich, sweet twist. A simple vanilla glaze is another option; it’s light and tasty. You can even use chocolate sauce for a dessert-like feel. If you want a fruity touch, try a berry sauce. Each sauce adds its own fun flavor to the bake. To store leftovers, first let the bake cool down. Use a clean container with a lid. Place the bake inside and cover it well. You can keep it in the fridge for up to three days. Make sure to eat it quickly for the best taste! When you're ready to enjoy your leftovers, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the bake in an oven-safe dish. Cover it with foil to keep it moist. Heat for about 15-20 minutes. You can also use the microwave. Just heat a slice for 30-45 seconds. Check to see if it’s warm enough. If you want to keep some for later, freezing works great! Cut the bake into individual portions. Wrap each piece in plastic wrap. Then, place the wrapped pieces in a freezer bag. Remove as much air as possible. You can freeze it for up to three months. To enjoy, thaw in the fridge overnight and reheat as mentioned above. Yes, you can prepare this dish in advance. You can mix the diced apples and cinnamon with the dough. Then, cover the bowl and keep it in the fridge for up to a day. When you're ready, just pour it into the baking dish and bake it as usual. This saves time, especially when you are busy. If you want to change the dough, use biscuit dough instead. You can also try puff pastry for a flakier texture. Both options will work well with the apples and cinnamon. Just make sure to cut them into small pieces, similar to the cinnamon rolls. Check the bake at 25 minutes. It should be golden brown on top. If you poke a roll with a toothpick, it should come out clean. If batter sticks, bake for a few more minutes.
