Ingredients
Scale
Cinnamon Roll Dough
- 1 can cinnamon roll dough
Apples
- 3–4 tart apples (like Granny Smith)
Pecans
- 1 cup chopped pecans
Brown Sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
Cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
Eggs
- 4 large eggs
Milk
- 1 cup milk
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Start by gathering all your ingredients, and preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures everything is ready to go when you start assembling your bake.
- Chop the Apples and Pecans: Peel, core, and chop your apples into bite-sized pieces. Also, roughly chop the pecans so they will mix evenly throughout the bake.
- Mix the Filling: In a large bowl, combine the chopped apples, pecans, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Stir everything together until the apples are well-coated with the sugary mixture.
- Prepare the Cinnamon Rolls: Open the can of cinnamon roll dough and cut each roll into quarters. This will help them distribute evenly in the baking dish.
- Assemble the Bake: In a greased baking dish, layer half of the cinnamon roll pieces, followed by the apple-pecan mixture. Top with the remaining cinnamon roll pieces, spreading them out evenly.
- Create the Custard Mixture: In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs and milk. Pour this mixture evenly over the assembled layers in your baking dish.
- Bake to Perfection: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set.
Notes
- Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor and texture.
- Don’t overbake to prevent drying out; it should be soft and fluffy.
- Let it cool for a few minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
- Consider adding whipped cream or ice cream for a decadent touch.
- A glass dish allows you to see the beautiful layers you’ve created.
