Ingredients
Units
Scale
Cinnamon Rolls
- 2 cans (16.5 oz each) refrigerated cinnamon rolls
Apples
- 4 medium Granny Smith apples, sliced
Brown Sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
Cinnamon
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
Eggs
- 4 large eggs
Milk
- 1 cup whole milk
Vanilla Extract
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Start by preheating your oven to 350ยฐF (175ยฐC) and gathering all your ingredients to ensure a smooth cooking process. Slice the apples and set them aside, and allow the cinnamon rolls to come to room temperature for easier handling.
- Layer the Base: Begin by cutting the cinnamon rolls into quarters and spreading half of them in the bottom of a greased baking dish. This forms the base layer of your Apple Cinnamon Roll Lasagna.
- Add the Apples and Mixture: In a bowl, combine the sliced apples with brown sugar, cinnamon, and a splash of vanilla extract. Pour half of this mixture over the cinnamon roll base, distributing it evenly.
- Create the Custard: In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs and milk until well combined. Pour half of this custard mixture over the apples, ensuring even coverage.
- Repeat the Layers: Repeat the layering process with the remaining cinnamon rolls, apples, and custard. This creates the signature lasagna effect, with rich, flavorful layers.
- Bake to Perfection: Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in a preheated oven for 25-30 minutes. Remove the foil for the last 10 minutes to allow the top to brown and crisp up, creating a delightful contrast with the soft layers underneath.
Notes
- Choose Firm Apples: Opt for apples that hold their shape well during baking, like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp.
- Donโt Overmix: Be gentle when combining the ingredients to maintain a fluffy texture.
- Let It Cool: Allow the lasagna to cool slightly before serving to help it set and slice more easily.
- Experiment with Toppings: Drizzle with caramel sauce or top with whipped cream for added indulgence.
- Use Fresh Spices: For the best flavor, use freshly ground cinnamon and spices.
