Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cans (12.4 oz each) Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls
  • 1 can (20 oz) apples, chopped into bite-sized pieces
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tsp cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375˚F (190˚C) to prepare for baking the casserole evenly.
  2. Prepare Ingredients: Chop each cinnamon roll into 6-8 bite-sized pieces. Open the can of apples and chop the apple slices into smaller, bite-sized pieces to ensure even distribution throughout the casserole.
  3. Combine Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped cinnamon rolls, chopped apples, melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Mix thoroughly until all the cinnamon roll pieces are evenly coated with the apple mixture, ensuring balanced flavor in every bite.
  4. Assemble Casserole: Spray a large casserole dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Pour the cinnamon roll and apple mixture into the dish, spreading it out evenly.
  5. Bake: Place the casserole dish on the middle rack of the preheated oven. Bake for 40-50 minutes or until the casserole is cooked through, golden brown on top, and the cinnamon rolls are fully puffed and soft in the center.
  6. Glaze and Serve: Remove the casserole from the oven and drizzle the cinnamon roll glaze (usually included in the cinnamon roll packs) over the top. Serve the casserole warm and enjoy the comforting flavors.

Notes

  • You can substitute fresh apples with canned apples if preferred, but ensure they are well-drained before mixing.
  • For extra crunch, sprinkle chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans on top before baking.
  • This casserole tastes great the next day and can be reheated in the oven or microwave.
  • Adjust brown sugar amount according to desired sweetness.
  • If you prefer a thicker glaze, drizzle in stages, allowing it to soak in between pours.
