Caramel Apple Cinnamon Rolls Lasagna
-
2 cans cinnamon rolls
-
4 large apples- peeled and diced (Granny Smith or Golden Delicious)
-
½ cup sugar
-
1 tsp cinnamon
-
¼ tsp nutmeg
-
1 tbsp cornstarch
-
¼ -1/3 cup caramel sauce (or salted caramel sauce if you prefer)
Preheat the oven to 375 F and spray glass or ceramic 8 x 8 x 2 inch dish with nonstick spray (I used 7 x 9 x 2 inch ceramic dish). In a bowl stir together diced apples, sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon and nutmeg to coat evenly. Cut cinnamon rolls in ¼ inch slices and then roll it out on floured work surface until thin. Dust it with flour because they are too sticky and they will fall apart when rolling out. You can dust your hands with flour and press it to thin it out if you find that easier.
Arrange first layer of flattened cinnamon rolls at the bottom and sides of a dish. Press them with your hands to seal them well. Spread half of apples from the filling and drizzle 2-3 tablespoons of caramel sauce on top. Cover with another layer of flattened cinnamon rolls.Spread remaining apples and drizzle again with caramel sauce. Cover with remaining flattened cinnamon rolls.Cover with aluminum foil and bake 30 minutes. Then remove the foil and bake another 10-15 minutes until the top is golden brown. Cool at least 30 minutes, drizzle with icing (that came with cinnamon rolls), then slice and serve.

Apple Strudel
-
1 egg
-
1 21 oz. can apple pie filling
-
1/4 tsp cinnamon
-
4 8 oz. cans crescent roll dough
-
2/3 cup powdered sugar
-
1/8 tsp vanilla extract
-
1 1/2 tbsp milk
-
2 tsp water
On a parchment-lined surface, roll out 2 cans of crescent roll dough. Pinch the seams and edges together to create one continuous sheet. These will become the bottom pieces. Repeat again with two more cans of dough to create the top pieces.Use a pizza roller or knife to cut out 8 to 10 rectangles from each sheet. I cut out 8 and mine were about 5” long and 3” wide, and they were pretty large. Cut off the excess dough and set aside. Place four rectangular pieces on each parchment-lined cookie sheet (they’re easier to pick up if you roll them slightly from the bottom into your hand), leaving about two inches of room between each one so you have room to crimp.
Use a fork to cut the apple pie filling into chunks, then scoop about one or two forkfuls into the center of each piece of dough, forming a smaller rectangle. Leave about 1/4” inch unfilled around the edges in order to seal the pies. You can sprinkle a bit of cinnamon on top of the filling if you’d like. Cover with another rectangle, and crimp edges with a fork. Use a knife to clean up any extra long crimped edges, this mainly happens around the corners. Make three small diagonal slits on top of each pie.
In a small bowl, beat egg and water together. Brush lightly over pastry. Bake for 13 to 15 minutes at 375F. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely. To speed up cooling, let sit on counter for five or 10 minutes, then place in fridge for about 20 minutes.
Now for the icing, which is really simple. In a small bowl use a fork to mix powdered sugar, milk, vanilla extract and cinnamon together until smooth and thick. Add a bit more powdered sugar if it’s too runny. Use a fork to diagonally drizzle icing over the strudels. As you can see, I made a huge mess with the icing, but after it hardens, the pooled icing on the bottom comes right off once you pick them up. You can also ice these on a cooling rack if you want to avoid this altogether, but it’s definitely not necessary.
