Cinnamon Roll Apple Lasagna

Recipe by Evelyn Marcella Rivera

A layered dessert lasagna made with flattened cinnamon roll dough, warmly spiced apple pie filling, and a light, tangy cream cheese mousse — baked until golden and drizzled with cinnamon roll icing and caramel sauce. Irresistibly over the top and ready in about an hour.

  • Total Time1 hour
  • Yield10 servings 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 cans refrigerated cinnamon rolls with icing
  • 4 cups apple pie filling
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup whipped topping
  • caramel sauce, for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Prep Dish and Build Base: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. Press half the cinnamon rolls flat and arrange in the bottom to form a crust. Set icing packets aside.
  2. First Apple Layer: Spread half of the apple pie filling evenly over the cinnamon roll base. Sprinkle with cinnamon and nutmeg.
  3. Make the Cream Cheese Filling: Beat softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Fold in whipped topping until light and fluffy.
  4. Build the Remaining Layers: Spread half the cream cheese mixture over the apple layer. Press remaining cinnamon rolls flat and layer on top. Add remaining apple filling, then spread the rest of the cream cheese mixture on top.
  5. Bake: Bake for 30-35 minutes until golden brown and bubbling. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
  6. Drizzle and Serve: Drizzle reserved cinnamon roll icing and caramel sauce generously over the top. Serve warm.

Notes

Soften cream cheese at room temperature for at least 30 minutes for a smooth filling. Press cinnamon rolls to about 1/4 inch thickness for even baking. Save both icing packets from the cinnamon roll cans for the final drizzle. Start checking for doneness at 28 minutes to prevent overbrowning. If the top browns too quickly, tent loosely with foil. Leftovers reheat well in a 300°F oven for about 10 minutes.
