II. Instructions

1. Prepare the Apples and Oven

  1. Preheat & Prep: Preheat your oven to 375∘F (190∘C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. Make the Filling: In a large bowl, toss the diced apples with the sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cornstarch. Ensure the apple pieces are evenly coated.

2. Prepare the Cinnamon Roll Layers

  1. Slice the Rolls: Open the cinnamon roll cans and reserve the icing packets. Cut each roll into 1/4-inch thick slices (you should get 6 to 8 slices per roll).
  2. Flatten the Slices: On a lightly floured surface, use a rolling pin to roll each slice until it is fairly thin. Tip: They are sticky; use a little flour on your hands and the rolling pin.

3. Assemble the Lasagna

  1. First Dough Layer: Arrange half of the flattened cinnamon roll slices at the bottom of the prepared baking dish, slightly overlapping them. Press gently with your hands to seal them into a solid base layer.
  2. First Apple Layer: Spread half of the apple filling mixture evenly over the dough. Drizzle 2 to 3 tablespoons of the caramel sauce over the apples.
  3. Middle Dough Layer: Top with another layer of the flattened cinnamon roll slices.
  4. Second Apple Layer: Spread the remaining apples and drizzle with another 2 to 3 tablespoons of caramel sauce.
  5. Top Dough Layer: Finish with the remaining flattened cinnamon roll slices.

4. Bake and Finish

  1. Bake Covered: Cover the dish loosely with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes.
  2. Bake Uncovered: Remove the foil and bake for another 10–15 minutes, or until the top layer is golden brown and the apples are tender.
  3. Cool & Ice: Let the lasagna cool for at least 30 minutes. This allows the filling to set.
  4. Garnish: Drizzle the reserved icing (from the cinnamon roll cans) all over the top. Serve warm!
