Description

This Apple Pecan Cinnamon Roll Bake is a delightful twist on classic cinnamon rolls, combining tender rolls with a warm apple and pecan topping baked to golden perfection. Drizzled with sweet icing, it’s a perfect comforting breakfast or brunch dish that is easy to prepare and serves six.

Ingredients

Cinnamon Rolls

  • 1 can (12 oz) refrigerated cinnamon rolls with icing

Apple-Pecan Topping

  • 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Egg Mixture

  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×9-inch baking dish to ensure easy removal of the bake.
  2. Prepare Cinnamon Rolls: Cut the refrigerated cinnamon rolls into quarters and spread them evenly across the prepared baking dish to create a uniform base layer.
  3. Combine Topping: In a mixing bowl, combine the diced apples, chopped pecans, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg thoroughly. Evenly sprinkle this mixture over the cinnamon roll pieces in the baking dish.
  4. Mix Egg Mixture: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until fully blended. This mixture will soak into the cinnamon rolls and topping during baking.
  5. Pour Egg Mixture: Carefully pour the egg mixture evenly over the cinnamon rolls and apple-pecan topping, ensuring all pieces are moistened.
  6. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.
  7. Add Icing: Remove the bake from the oven and immediately drizzle with the icing that came with the cinnamon roll package for extra sweetness.
  8. Serve: Let the bake cool slightly, then serve warm for a cozy and delicious treat.

Notes

  • Use tart apples like Granny Smith for a nice balance against the sweetness.
  • Feel free to substitute pecans with walnuts if preferred.
  • If you like a sweeter bake, add a bit more brown sugar or drizzle extra icing.
  • Allow the bake to cool for 5-10 minutes as it will be very hot right out of the oven.
  • This dish can be prepared the night before and baked fresh in the morning.
