Cinnamon Roll Apple Lasagna Recipe

How to make Cinnamon Roll Apple Lasagna

Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8×8 or 9×9-inch baking dish with melted butter.

Step 2: Separate cinnamon rolls and flatten each one into a 4-inch round. Press 8 flattened rolls into the bottom of the pan to form a crust, sealing any gaps.

Step 3: In a skillet over medium heat, cook diced apples with brown sugar, cinnamon, and butter for 5-7 minutes until tender. Stir in cornstarch if a thicker filling is desired. Let cool slightly.

Step 4: In a bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, vanilla, and egg until smooth.

Step 5: Spread half of the cream cheese mixture over the cinnamon roll crust. Top with half of the cooked apples.

Step 6: Repeat with another layer of flattened cinnamon rolls, remaining cream cheese mixture, and apples.

Step 7: Bake for 30-35 minutes, until set and golden on top. Let cool for 10-15 minutes.

Step 8: Drizzle with reserved icing and dust with cinnamon. Slice and serve warm.

Recipe Variations and Possible Substitutions

• Canned apple pie filling: Swap out fresh apples for store-bought filling for a shortcut.
• Add crunch: Mix in chopped pecans or walnuts to the apple layer.
• Maple twist: Use maple extract in place of vanilla for a fall-inspired flavor.
• Creamier filling: Add a layer of vanilla pudding or whipped topping between layers.

Storage and Reheating Tips
