Ingredients
  

2 cans of refrigerated cinnamon rolls (with frosting)

3 medium-sized apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled, cored, and diced

1 cup brown sugar

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

1/4 cup maple syrup (optional)

Pinch of salt

Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.

    Prepare Cinnamon Rolls: Open the cans of cinnamon rolls and separate the rolls. Cut each roll into quarters and set aside.

      Prepare Apple Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced apples, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. If using, fold in the chopped nuts for added texture. Mix until the apples are well coated.

        Combine Ingredients: In the greased baking dish, layer half of the quartered cinnamon roll pieces evenly across the bottom. Next, sprinkle half of the apple mixture on top. Repeat with the remaining cinnamon roll pieces and apple mixture.

          Drizzle with Butter and Syrup: Pour the melted butter evenly over the top of the assembled bake. For an extra touch of sweetness, drizzle with maple syrup if desired.

            Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cinnamon rolls are puffed and golden brown, and the apples are tender.

              Prepare the Frosting: While the bake is in the oven, prepare the frosting from the cinnamon roll cans by setting aside the frosting packets. If desired, you can also create your own cream cheese frosting or glaze for added flavor.

                Finish and Serve: Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Drizzle the frosting over the warm Cinnamon Apple Delight Bake. If desired, dust with powdered sugar for a finishing touch. Serve warm and enjoy!
