Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated cinnamon roll dough
- 1 apple, peeled, cored, and diced
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/4 cup chopped pecans (optional)
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon all-purpose flour
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a small baking dish.
- In a medium bowl, toss the diced apple with granulated sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

- Separate the cinnamon rolls and place them in the prepared baking dish, slightly apart.
- Pour the cooked apple mixture evenly over the cinnamon rolls.

Notes
- You can use any type of apple you prefer. Granny Smith apples will give a tarter flavor, while Fuji or Honeycrisp will be sweeter.
- For an extra rich flavor, you can add a splash of vanilla extract to the apple mixture.
- Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra special treat.
