Indulge in these Easy Caramel Apple Cinnamon Rolls for a delicious twist on classic cinnamon rolls. Filled with sweet caramelized apples and topped with a decadent caramel frosting, these rolls are perfect for breakfast or dessert.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Apple Filling:

  • 2 tablespoons (28g) unsalted butter
  • 2 cups diced Granny Smith Apples (about 2 medium apples or 200g)
  • 2 tablespoons (25g) granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

For the Rolls:

  • 1 can crescent rolls (8 rolls)
  • 2 tablespoons (28g) unsalted butter
  • ¼ cup (50g) packed brown sugar
  • 2–3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
  • ½ cup (57g) powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment or a silpat liner.
  2. Melt the butter in a small skillet over low-medium heat. Add apples, cinnamon, and sugar. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the apples are just beginning to turn translucent, about 15 minutes. Cool for at least 10 minutes.
  3. Unroll crescent rolls on a cutting board, leaving them in the rectangle as much as possible. Press the seams together to form one big rectangle. Spread apples over the crescent rolls. Roll up tightly, slice into 8 equal portions, and place on a baking sheet.
  4. Bake until golden on top, 15-25 minutes, or until cooked through.
  5. Make the frosting: Melt butter and brown sugar together, cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat, whisk in powdered sugar, then vanilla and 2 tablespoons cream. Add more cream as needed for desired consistency.
  6. Tip: You can skip making the frosting and serve caramel ice cream topping instead.

Notes

  • You can add chopped nuts or raisins to the apple filling for extra flavor and texture.
  • These cinnamon rolls are best enjoyed warm but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
