🍰 How to Make Cinnamon Roll Apple Lasagna
Step 1: Prepare the Apples
In a medium saucepan, combine the diced apples, sugar, and cinnamon (if using). Cook over medium heat for 8–10 minutes until the apples soften and become slightly caramelized. Stir occasionally.
Step 2: Prepare the Cinnamon Rolls
Open the cinnamon roll cans and separate the rolls. Flatten each roll slightly using your hands or a rolling pin to prepare them for layering.
Step 3: Layer the Dessert
In a greased baking dish:
Place a layer of flattened cinnamon rolls on the bottom
Add a layer of warm apple filling
Repeat layers until all ingredients are used
Finish with a top layer of cinnamon rolls.
Step 4: Bake
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and fully cooked.
Step 5: Add Icing & Serve
Drizzle the included cinnamon roll icing over the warm dessert. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes before serving for the perfect gooey texture.
