🛒 Ingredients

🍞 2 cans refrigerated cinnamon rolls

🍏 3 large apples, peeled and thinly sliced

🤎 ¼ cup brown sugar

✨ 1 tsp ground cinnamon

🧈 2 tbsp butter

🧀 1 package cream cheese, softened

🍚 ½ cup powdered sugar

🌿 1 tsp vanilla extract

🍯 Caramel sauce for drizzle

🍦 Cinnamon roll icing from the cans

👩‍🍳 Instructions

🔥 Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick spray.

🔪 Slice each cinnamon roll horizontally into thinner layers to create a soft “lasagna noodle” effect.

🍞 Press half of the cinnamon roll slices into the bottom of the prepared baking dish, slightly overlapping them to fully cover the bottom.

🧈 Place butter in a skillet over medium heat until melted and bubbling.

🍏 Add sliced apples, brown sugar, and cinnamon to the skillet. Stir well until the apples are fully coated.

🍂 Cook the apples for 5–7 minutes until soft, glossy, and caramelized while keeping a slight bite for texture.

🥄 Spread the warm apple filling evenly over the cinnamon roll layer.

🧀 In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth and creamy with no lumps remaining.

🍚 Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, then mix until silky and fluffy.

✨ Spread the cream cheese mixture gently over the apple layer for a rich cheesecake-style filling.

🍞 Arrange the remaining cinnamon roll slices over the top layer, covering most of the filling.

🔥 Bake for 30–35 minutes until golden brown, bubbling around the edges, and fully cooked in the center.

🍯 Remove from the oven and immediately drizzle the reserved cinnamon roll icing all over the top while warm.

🤤 Finish with a generous caramel sauce drizzle for the ultimate gooey dessert finish.

🍎 Let cool for 5–10 minutes before slicing to help the layers hold together perfectly.

🍨 Serve warm for the best soft cinnamon roll texture and melted creamy filling.
