  • 1 can 12.4 oz refrigerated cinnamon roll dough (with icing packet included)
  • 1/2 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)

  • 1 cup vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for serving

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  2. Open both cans of apple pie filling and spread them evenly in the greased baking dish.
  3. Sprinkle the ground cinnamon and nutmeg over the apple filling and gently stir.
  4. Sprinkle the packed brown sugar evenly across the apple layer.
  5. Drizzle the caramel sauce generously over the brown sugar layer.
  6. Open the canned cinnamon roll dough, flatten each roll slightly, and place them across the top of the apple and caramel mixture.
  7. Melt the unsalted butter and drizzle it evenly over the cinnamon rolls.
Baking
  1. Bake uncovered for 40 to 45 minutes until the tops are golden brown and the edges bubble.
  2. Around the 35-minute mark, check for doneness and tent with foil if necessary.
  3. Let the cake rest for 10 minutes before drizzling with icing and serving.

Notes

To add a salted kick, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top before serving. For storage, cover and refrigerate for up to 4 days. To reheat, microwave individual servings for 60 to 90 seconds.
