Description
A decadent fall dessert layered with gooey cinnamon rolls, spiced apples, and a rich cream cheese filling. Perfect for holidays or cozy nights in.
Ingredients
2 cans (8 count each) refrigerated cinnamon rolls with icing
5 medium apples, peeled and diced (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon butter
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup heavy whipping cream
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- In a saucepan, cook the diced apples with granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and butter over medium heat for 8–10 minutes until softened.
- Stir in the cornstarch and cook for 2 more minutes to thicken. Remove from heat.
- In a bowl, beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth.
- Separately, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form and gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture.
- Flatten half of the cinnamon rolls and press into the baking dish to form the bottom layer.
- Spread half of the cream cheese filling over the cinnamon rolls, followed by half of the apple mixture.
- Repeat the layers with the remaining cinnamon rolls, cream cheese filling, and apple mixture.
- Bake for 30–35 minutes until golden and bubbly.
- Let cool for 10–15 minutes and drizzle the included icing over the top. Serve warm or chilled.
Notes
Use a mix of Granny Smith and Honeycrisp apples for a sweet-tart balance.
Drizzle caramel sauce or add chopped nuts for extra flavor and texture.
Store covered in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Reheat in the microwave or oven; also tasty when served cold.
Can be made ahead of time and reheated before serving.
