Fruit Mixture
- 1 can (20 oz) apple pie filling
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg (optional)
Dough & Toppings
- 1 can (8-count) refrigerated cinnamon rolls with icing
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce (+ extra for drizzling)
- 1/4 cup chopped pecans (optional)
- Nonstick spray or butter for greasing
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish thoroughly with nonstick spray or butter to prevent sticking.
- Mix Fruit Filling: In a bowl, combine the apple pie filling with ground cinnamon and optional nutmeg, stirring well to evenly distribute the spices.
- Layer Fruit Filling: Spread the seasoned apple pie filling evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish, forming a flavorful base layer.
- Add Cinnamon Rolls: Quarter each refrigerated cinnamon roll and scatter these pieces evenly over the apple layer in the baking dish.
- Drizzle and Sprinkle: Drizzle 1/2 cup of caramel sauce over the cinnamon rolls. If using, sprinkle chopped pecans evenly on top for added texture and flavor.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes until the cinnamon rolls are golden brown and cooked through.
- Cool and Finish: Allow the cake to cool slightly after baking. Then drizzle the included cinnamon roll icing and extra caramel sauce over the top. Serve the dessert warm for the best flavor experience.
Notes
- You can omit the pecans to make the dessert nut-free.
- Extra caramel can be warmed slightly before drizzling for easier pouring.
- Try adding a scoop of vanilla ice cream at serving time for a delightful treat.
- Ensure cinnamon rolls are fully baked to avoid doughy texture.
