Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 cans refrigerated cinnamon rolls 17.5 oz cans, icing reserved
- 1 medium Granny smith apple peeled and diced
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ cup butter melted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and generously grease a Bundt pan with nonstick cooking spray. In a small bowl, stir together the granulated sugar and cinnamon.
- Transfer ¼ cup of the cinnamon sugar mixture to a separate bowl. Add the diced apples and toss until evenly coated.
- Cut each cinnamon roll into quarters, then roll each piece in the remaining cinnamon sugar mixture until evenly coated.
- Spread half of the coated apples in the bottom of the prepared Bundt pan. Arrange half of the cinnamon roll pieces over the apples.
- Repeat the layers with the remaining apples and cinnamon roll pieces. Pour the melted butter evenly over the top.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is cooked through.
- Let cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then carefully invert onto a serving platter. Drizzle with the reserved icing and serve warm.
Notes
- Apple Tip: Granny Smith apples hold their shape best, but Honeycrisp, Gala, Fuji, or Braeburn also work well.
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days at room temperature or 5 days in the refrigerator.
- Freezer: Freeze tightly wrapped for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight before reheating.
- Variation: Add chopped pecans or walnuts for extra crunch, or substitute apple pie filling for the fresh apples when you're short on time.
- Don't overbake: Bake just until the center is cooked through to keep the cinnamon rolls soft and fluffy.
