Fall is such a magical time of year with its crisp weather, vibrant colors, and comforting flavors. While many people turn to pumpkin spice, I have always been a cinnamon apple girl at heart. The combination of juicy apples with their tartness and a touch of sweetness, paired with the warm and spicy essence of cinnamon, brings me back to nostalgic autumn memories.

If you’re like me and constantly on the lookout for new cinnamon apple recipes, then you’re in for a treat with this Apple Cinnamon Roll Lasagna. It’s unlike any lasagna you’ve ever tasted before, but don’t worry, there are no meat sauces or noodles here. Instead, this dessert is layered with scrumptious goodness and topped with a sweet icing drizzle. Trust me, it’s a delight you won’t want to miss!

What makes this recipe even better is that it’s incredibly easy to make. With just 7 simple ingredients, you can whip up this dessert in no time. Plus, you won’t need a long list of items from the grocery store. By using refrigerated cinnamon rolls, the process becomes even more convenient.

To start, preheat your oven to 375°F and spray a 9×13 baking dish with nonstick spray. Grab 4 large apples – Granny Smith or Golden Delicious work best for this recipe, but feel free to use your favorite apple variety. Dice the apples and toss them with sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and nutmeg until they’re evenly coated.

Next, cut the cinnamon rolls into thin slices, about 1/4-inch thick. Sprinkle each slice with a little flour, then roll them out on a floured surface until they’re thin. Arrange the first layer of cinnamon rolls at the bottom and sides of the baking dish, pressing them with your hands to ensure they seal well.

Now comes the fun part – layering! Spread half of the apple filling on top of the first layer of cinnamon rolls and drizzle it with 2-3 tablespoons of caramel sauce. Then, add another layer of flattened cinnamon rolls and top it with the remaining apples and another drizzle of caramel sauce. Finally, cover it all with the remaining flattened cinnamon roll pieces.

Pop your creation into the oven and bake it covered for 30 minutes, then uncover it and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until the top turns golden brown and irresistible. When you take it out of the oven, be careful as it will be piping hot. Allow it to cool for a bit before indulging in its sweet aroma.

Once it’s cooled slightly, take the icing packets that came with the cinnamon rolls and drizzle it on top of your Apple Cinnamon Roll Lasagna. The combination of warm lasagna, sweet icing, and fragrant apples will surely make your taste buds dance with joy. Serve it warm and enjoy the cozy flavors of fall.
