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
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375˚F to prepare for baking the casserole.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
