A decadent dessert that combines the comforting flavors of cinnamon rolls with the sweetness of caramel apples. This unique lasagna-style treat is perfect for fall gatherings or a special occasion.

Ingredients:

For the Caramel Apple Filling:

  • 4 large Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted

For the Cinnamon Roll Dough:

  • 1 package (10.5 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

For the Caramel Sauce:

  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Apple Filling:
    • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
    • In a large bowl, combine sliced apples, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Toss to coat.
    • Spread the apple mixture in a 9×13 inch baking dish. Drizzle with melted butter.
  2. Prepare the Cinnamon Roll Dough:
    • Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate into 8 triangles.
    • In a small bowl, combine brown sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the dough triangles.
    • Roll up each triangle tightly, starting from the wide end. Place the rolled-up dough pieces in a single layer over the apple filling.
  3. Bake:
    • Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown.
  4. Make the Caramel Sauce:
    • In a medium saucepan, combine brown sugar and butter over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is bubbly.
    • Slowly whisk in heavy cream, then stir in vanilla extract.
    • Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce thickens.
  5. Assemble and Serve:
    • Remove the lasagna from the oven and let it cool slightly.
    • Drizzle the warm caramel sauce over the lasagna.
    • Serve warm or chilled.

Tips:

  • For a richer flavor, use a combination of white and brown sugar for the caramel sauce.
  • To make this dessert even more indulgent, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream on top.
  • You can also use store-bought caramel sauce to save time.
  • Experiment with different apple varieties for a unique flavor profile.
