I bake this Cinnamon Roll Apple Lasagna when you and I want a cozy, crowd‑pleasing dessert that tastes like gooey cinnamon rolls, apple pie, and bread pudding layered together in one pan. You get soft cinnamon roll pieces, buttery spiced apples, and a creamy cheesecake‑style layer, all finished with warm icing drizzled over the top.
Why You’ll Love This Cinnamon Roll Apple Lasagna
You’ll love this recipe because it starts with refrigerated cinnamon rolls, so you skip homemade dough but still end up with fluffy, cinnamon‑swirled layers that bake up golden and soft. The stovetop apple layer gives you real fruit flavor and texture—like apple pie filling but fresher—while the cream cheese mixture adds a rich, tangy contrast that makes each scoop taste more like a dessert “lasagna” than a simple casserole.
This is also a fantastic make‑ahead brunch or dessert bake. Cinnamon roll casseroles and apple cinnamon roll bakes are designed to be assembled quickly, baked in a 9×13 pan, and served warm to a crowd, and leftovers reheat beautifully for a second round.
