- 2 cans refrigerated cinnamon rolls (8 rolls per can), icing reserved
- Apple Layer:
- 4 cups peeled, diced apples
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/4 cup water
- Creamy Layer:
- 225 g cream cheese, softened
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- Topping:
- Reserved cinnamon roll icing
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly grease a 23 x 33 cm baking dish.
- In a saucepan, combine diced apples, lemon juice, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cornstarch, and water. Cook over medium heat for 5–7 minutes until apples are slightly softened and the mixture thickens. Set aside.
- Cut each cinnamon roll into quarters. Spread half of the pieces on the bottom of the baking dish.
- Spoon half of the apple mixture evenly over the cinnamon rolls.
- In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Add heavy cream and beat until fluffy.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture over the apple layer.
- Top with remaining cinnamon roll pieces and the rest of the apple mixture.
- Cover loosely with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake another 15–20 minutes until rolls are fully cooked and top is golden.
- Cool for 10 minutes, drizzle with reserved icing, and sprinkle with cinnamon before serving.
Notes
- Use a mix of tart and sweet apples for deeper flavor.
- Add chopped nuts for crunch between layers.
- Let the dessert cool slightly for cleaner slices.
- Reheat individual servings in the microwave or oven.
