Ingredients
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Refrigerated cinnamon rolls | 2 cans |
| Apple pie filling | 2 cups |
| Ground cinnamon | 1 teaspoon |
| Vanilla extract | 1 teaspoon |
| Large eggs | 3 |
| Heavy cream | ½ cup |
| Maple syrup (optional) | ¼ cup |
| Icing packets from cinnamon rolls | As provided |
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat and Prep Dish
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Step 2: Prepare Cinnamon Rolls
Open the cans of cinnamon rolls and cut each roll into quarters. Spread the pieces evenly across the bottom of the prepared dish.
Step 3: Add Apples
Spoon the apple pie filling evenly over the cinnamon roll pieces, covering the surface thoroughly.
Step 4: Make the Custard Mixture
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and maple syrup (if using) until smooth.
Step 5: Combine and Bake
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the cinnamon rolls and apple filling. Press gently to allow the custard to soak in. Bake uncovered for 35–40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is fully set.
Step 6: Add Icing and Serve
Let the casserole cool slightly, then drizzle with the icing from the cinnamon rolls. Serve warm for the best experience.
Serving Tip: Pair with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for a decadent breakfast or dessert treat.
