how to make Apple Cinnamon Lasagna Roll

Ingredients:

Cinnamon rolls: 2 packets
Large apples, peeled and diced: 4
Sugar: ½ cup
Cinnamon: 1 teaspoon
Nutmeg: ½ teaspoon
Cornstarch: 1 tablespoon
Caramel sauce: ½ cup
Icing from cinnamon rolls: As needed

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Spray an 8×8-inch baking dish with nonstick spray.
Mix apples: In a bowl, mix the peeled and diced apples with the sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and nutmeg until evenly coated.
Prepare cinnamon roll dough: Unroll the cinnamon roll dough and cut the rolls into ½-inch strips. On a floured surface, roll out each strip until fluffy and thin. Use flour as needed to prevent sticking.
Assemble the layers: Arrange the first layer of flattened cinnamon roll dough on the bottom and sides of the prepared baking dish. Spread half of the apple mixture over the dough and drizzle 2–3 tablespoons of caramel sauce on top. Cover with another layer of cinnamon roll dough strips. Spread the remaining apple mixture and pour more caramel sauce on top. Cover with the remaining flattened cinnamon roll dough.
Bake: Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the aluminum foil and bake for another 10–15 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.
Cool & serve: Let the dish cool for at least 30 minutes. Drizzle the icing that comes with the cinnamon rolls over the top before slicing and serving. Enjoy this sweet and warm dessert!
