Ingredients

Primary Ingredients

  • 2 cans (12.4 oz each) Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls
  • 1 can (20 oz) apples, drained and chopped

Additional Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tsp cinnamon


Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375˚F to prepare for baking the casserole.
  2. Prepare Ingredients: Chop each cinnamon roll into 6-8 pieces. Open the can of apples and chop them into small bite-sized pieces to ensure even distribution.
  3. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the chopped cinnamon rolls, apples, melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Mix thoroughly until the cinnamon rolls are evenly coated with the apple mixture.
  4. Assemble Casserole: Spray a large casserole dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Pour the mixture of cinnamon rolls and apples into the dish, spreading it evenly.
  5. Bake: Place the casserole on the middle rack of the preheated oven and bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the mixture is cooked through and golden on top.
  6. Glaze and Serve: Once baked, drizzle the glaze included from the cinnamon rolls over the top of the casserole. Serve warm and enjoy your sweet, comforting breakfast.

Notes

  • Use fresh or frozen apples if canned are not available, but adjust the sugar amount to taste.
  • Ensure the casserole is baked until the rolls are fully cooked to avoid doughy centers.
  • This dish is best served fresh but can be refrigerated and reheated gently.
  • For a crunchier texture, sprinkle chopped nuts on top before baking.
  • Adjust cinnamon according to preference for more or less spice.
