Caramel Apple Cinnamon Roll Lasagna is fun and delicious combo of classic caramel apple pie and yummy cinnamon rolls. This awesome fall treat (just like this amazing Apple Crumb Cake) is delicious dessert, but it is great idea for easy breakfast casserole, too.
Surely you all know very well that I like to call my layered dessert creations- LASAGNA. I had so far No Bake Strawberry Jello Lasagna, White Chocolate Blueberry Lasagna, Caramel Pecan Lasagna, No Bake Summer Berry Lasagna, Chocolate Lasagna, Christmas Lasagna, Key Lime Pie Lasagna and Pumpkin Lasagna. But these were all creamy dessert with cookie or shortbread crusts, pudding and cheesecake layer and whipped topping.
For this Caramel Apple Cinnamon Roll Lasagna I had slightly different concept, but called it lasagna, again. This one is a twist on classic apple pie. Actually it’s like layered apple pie.
Instead of a classic pie crust I used cinnamon rolls. I cut each roll in a thin layer, than flatten it a bit more and arrange at the bottom of a baking dish. I topped it with mixture of diced fresh apples, sugar, corn starch and cinnamon. Than I drizzled caramel sauce on top of apple pie filling and then cover with another layer of flattened cinnamon rolls. However, considering that this is a layered dessert, I repeat all these layers once more.
At the end I got delicious Caramel Apple Cinnamon Roll Lasagna with three layers of cinnamon rolls, two layers of apple pie filling and caramel sauce, and as a bonus, there is sweet sugar icing on top.
It’s just the middle of summer, but I’m looking forward to fall baking season. I simply can’t resist wonderful apple creations with cinnamon and caramel. I had so many great ideas about new apple recipes, so I had to try at least one, although it’s just the July.
Also, this yummy Caramel Apple Cinnamon Roll Lasagna was perfect excuse to eat dessert for breakfast. Since it’s made with cinnamon rolls, this lasagna is perfectly acceptable breakfast casserole, right?!

Caramel Apple Cinnamon Roll Lasagna is fun and delicious combo of classic caramel apple pie and yummy cinnamon rolls.
Ingredients
- 2 cans cinnamon rolls
- 4 large apples- peeled and diced (Granny Smith or Golden Delicious)
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- ¼ –1/3 cup caramel sauce (or salted caramel sauce if you prefer)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 F and spray glass or ceramic 8 x 8 x 2 inch dish with nonstick spray( I used 7 x 9 x 2 inch ceramic dish).
- In a bowl stir together diced apples, sugar, corn starch, cinnamon and nutmeg to coat evenly.
- Cut cinnamon rolls in ¼ inch slices and then roll it out on floured work surface until thin. Dust it with flour because they are too sticky and they will fall apart when rolling out. You can dust your hands with flour and press it to thin it out if you find that easier.
- Arrange first layer of flattened cinnamon rolls at the bottom and sides of a dish. Press them with your hands to seal them well.
- Spread half of apples from the filling and drizzle 2-3 tablespoons of caramel sauce on top. Cover with another layer of flattened cinnamon rolls.
- Spread remaining apples and drizzle again with caramel sauce. Cover with remaining flattened cinnamon rolls.
- Cover with aluminum foil and bake 30 minutes. Then remove the foil and bake another 10-15 minutes until the top are golden brown.
- Cool at least 30 minutes, drizzle with icing(that came with cinnamon rolls) slice and serve.

I am soooo making this tomorrow!
I love this dessert. I’ve used canned apple pie filling when I didn’t have fresh apples or was in a hurry.
How did you incorporate the Canned Apple Pie Filling into the recipe? How much pie filling did you use and did you cut any of the other ingredients out? Thank you
Looks soo good! Definitely making this!
could you use apple pie filling?
You are a baking genius!!!!!!!! YUMMMMMM
Kudos to you!!!!!!
In this, are the apples cooked all the way through? I don’t like apple desserts with crunchy cooked apples. Also, which cinnamon rolls did you use? My family likes the Grands cinnamon rolls.
All of that aside, it looks amazing!!!
Going to try looks delicious and easy
Is the middle suppose to be doughy? That is how mine turned out and I even cooked for an additional 20 minutes
I made this yesterday and had the same issue. I had to cook it an additional 40 minutes. It was also a bit too bready for me.
The doughy middle layer turned me off. It tasted good but I will not make it again. I will stick to my traditional caramel apple pie. Too much time is spent flattening the rolls.
Looks good. But it is very time consuming rolling out the 1/4 cut rolls. Sticks to everything. The apples I cut in small pieces and they were still crunchy and the middle layer was doughy and soggy and the tip layer hard like day old bread. Definitely will ot be making thus again.
Where is the recipe for caramel sauce ?
HI sue, I used store bought caramel sauce
Hi i was wondering if you have to use a ceramic or glass dish cold you metal dish ??
Does this get refridged or counter?
looks yummy.
Caramel Apple lasagna is my favorite.Its sound looks amazing. I loved your way of cooking last time I made it on Our EID UL AZHA event of Muslims.Sharing a link with Eid Ul Azha dishes that everyone wants to eat: ( https://www.sooperchef.pk/blog/cooking/top-ten-recipes-eid-ul-adha-2017/ ).
Have you ever tried doubling this?
Hi Kim, I haven’t but I think it would work, use 9×13 dish.
do the layers of cinnamon rolls in the middle cook properly or remain gooey?
Hi Philip, it will cook fine, not like the top layer, but it’s not gooey.
I’m making this now and cinnamon rolls in the middle are gooey . I am going to put foil back on and cook alittle longer..
I’ve got gooey too.
Turned out pretty good. Middle layer was gooey even though the top and bottom were done. I would leave out the middle layer next time.
This recipe was delicious! Based on comments about the middle layer coming out gooey, I decided to bake the middle layer of flattened cinnamon rolls first before incorporating into lasagne layers. It came out perfect – no gooey middle. Thanks for the recipe!
Can I use can apple filling
Hi Karen, I think it would work, but I haven’t tried for this recipe.
Can you use apple pie filling for the apples.
Hi Kathy, I think it would work, but I haven’t tried for this recipe.
anyone try it with brown sugar instead of white? What about adding walnuts? These are ingredients I use in cinnamon rolls.
I used brown sugar, same amount and it was awful sweet, maybe half next time.
What about making a single recipe (not doubled) in 9×13 pan?
This is recipe for 8×8 inch dish. The dish in the picture is 7 x 9 inch so it has rectangular shape.
Could use a pie crust on the bottom and cinnamon rolls on top
Hey! Wondering if this might work in a slow cooker? Would love to bring to a potluck.
Hi Alicia,
sorry I haven’t tried in a slow cooker so I can’t help you.
looks good
Thanks Amy 🙂
Am going to try this today! Can’t wait but I was just wondering… does it keep well in the fridge? Freezer? Can it be reheated?
Hi Jannie, we eat the whole lasagna first day.But I think you can cover it and store it in the fridge and reheat if you like, just cover with aluminum foil if reheat it in the oven.
Where can I buy the cans of cinnamon rolls in Sydney
Sorry Jane, I really don’t know that.
For the cinnamon rolls, are those the thin canister or the thicker (Grand) size? Each individual roll needs to be sliced into 1/4 slices & still flattened more…how thin is thin? ? Thanks!
Hi Faye, use thin canister like “Flaky cinnamon Rolls”, not Grand.”Thin” is about 3-4 millimeters.
where do you get cinnamon rolls in a can from please__
At the grocery store. Pillsbury. Refrigerated section. Usually where pie crust dough is, nestle cookie dough, biscuits, orange rolls, butter, etc
I just made this dessert and the middle turned out undercooked and doughy. If I make it again I will cook it longer with the foil on. I used an 8 x 8 pan.
This looks delicious and I would love to make it, but I’m concerned about cutting the rolls. How did you slice them so thin?
Hi Sue, slice them immediately when you take them out from the fridge, don’t separate them and use thin sharp knife, it will be OK, don’t worry.
I just took this out of the oven and it smells amazing. (how can you go wrong with a sugar/cinnamon smell?) I did have trouble cutting the rolls in two.. You made it look so easy! Yes, my knife was super sharp but the rolls just weren’t very big.I didn’t have enough to finish covering the top. I used a 9×9 so maybe that was the difference? Anyhow, can’t wait to dig into them tonight. I think next time I will leave them whole and flatten and go with 3 cans.
Which size cans of cinnamon rolls? It looks like short 4 oz cans in the video, but the recipe doesn’t specify
Hi Jo, use 2 x 12 oz. can.
Wondering about making the night before and baking in the morning. Thoughts?
Hi Cathy< i haven't tried, but the apples may release too much juice
I can’t print the recipe
[…] Caramel Apple Cinnamon Roll Lasagna from OMG Chocolate Desserts […]
Good recipe, but I would suggest a larger dish for baking. The 8×8 is just too small and the middle wides up gooey. I baked it per the instructions, and I had to bake it an extra 30 minutes on top of that. I think if it was not so thick, it would cook Moreno evenly.
In the first “long” photo there are 9 cinnamon rolls (3 rows of 3) but in the last photo there are only 6 cinnamon rolls (2 rolls of 3)…which is correct? If you want to double it for a 13 x 9 pan is the cooking time the same??? thanks…looks yummy!
Yes. Both answers are correct. There are 9 pieces in the bottom layer and 6 on top. If you noticed, the bottom layer goes up the sides of the dish a bit, whereas the top layer does not need to do that.
And overlap to create a stronger bottom.
Was excited to try this but all the “Gooey” comments scare me….
My daughter requested this for her birthday and I made it per the recipe but it wasn’t done at all. I baked it for another 45 min. The end result was good though.
Hi Jan,I´m glad everything was fine at the end. Happy birthday to your daughter 🙂
I would love to make this recipe .It looks delicious .I am in Australia am I able to buy the cinnamon rolls here .or can I use pastry instead?
I would like to try it with the cinnamon rolls if possible.
Hi Elisa, I think it would work fine. Please let me know how it goes, if you try.
Can I make it one day and cook it the next
Small or large cans of cinnamon rolls?
Hi Vicky, 2 small cans.
Delicious and of course, absolutely HEALTHY:))))))))))
OMG I served this tonight for book club… it was delish. I used a 9 x 12x 2 pan so instead of layering a few times, I only did a bottom layer of rolled 1/4″, spread my apple mixture- with about 6-7 apples and then caramel sauce and then a top layer of the 1/4″ cinnamon rolls again. It cooked well and smelled even better than the rolls do when you make them! Apples… some people did ice cream on top… I only with I had fresh whipped cream!!! Def try this recipe!
Hi Fran, thanks so much for the comment. I’m really happy to hear that 🙂
Going by what Fran mentioned with a bottom layer, apple filling middle and a top layer, everything worked out well, in a 9 x 13. I think I will give this a try for the next dish to pass event with these modifications. Reading through a lot of comments, many people said it was too gooey otherwise, with the original directions. Thank you for your recipe, it all sounds delicious to me.
Mouthwatering recipe. Can you please share the video recipe of it as i am not too friendly with the text.
Yummy.
I made this today…..very good!!Was wondering the best way to store it? Cupboard or fridge?
I hate apples, but this looks so good so i am going to give it a try. Definitely
What can I use to substitute the Carmel with?

Try this.
I am planning on taking this to a party tonight. Can I bake it ahead of time or should I throw it in my friend’s oven when I get there? I am afraid it won’t travel well.
Going to try honey crisp apples. Read tje recipe swear didnt see what kind. Grocery shopped read. Urgh ok… let’s see how it goes lol
I followed the recipe to a T, however when we cut into it the middle layer of cinnamon rolls were not cooked and still gooey. I cooked for 30 minutes and then took off the tin foil and then another 15. Any ideas?
I baked the bottom layer for a few minutes before I added the apple pie filling on top.
I just madder this in a7 by 9, seems just the right size
I have just made this! Now, how does this get stored on the counter or refridge?
Made these today and absolutely fell in love! They are now my family’s favorite. They were so so delicious. They were too good! I can’t stop making your recipes, everything is amazing. Thank you so much for sharing. Can’t wait for the next recipe you are going to share. Best wishes to you! You are doing such a great job. This is very very appetizing!
Can you substitute apple with rhubarb
Looks yummy
This recipe was terrible. The cinnamon roll pieces turned to a wet mush when the apples cooked down. It was horrible. Pre-cooked apples or canned pie filling would work better. It was like picking wet, mushy bread off of cooked apples. No thank you.
Can i make this the night before then bake it that morning?
Great recipe, when you pre-bake the center layer of cinnamon rolls,. Best when warm. Also, watch the video
( I didn’t) its very helpful LOL.
