Ingredients

• ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
• ½ cup milk
• 2 large eggs
• ½ cup brown sugar
• 3 teaspoons ground cinnamon, divided
• 2 (17.5 ounce) cans refrigerated cinnamon roll dough with icing
• ½ cup maple syrup, divided
• 3 medium Granny Smith apples, peeled and diced

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 2

Place diced apples in a large skillet over medium heat with brown sugar, 1/2 cup maple syrup, 2 teaspoons cinnamon, and nutmeg. Mix together and simmer until apples are tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain apples and set aside.

Step 3

Meanwhile, whisk milk, eggs, and remaining 1 teaspoon cinnamon together in a bowl.

Step 4

Open 1 tube cinnamon rolls; set icing aside. Cut each cinnamon roll into 6 pieces. Place all pieces into the milk mixture and mix around until fully covered. Remove from the milk mixture and press into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.

Step 5

Evenly place spiced apples on top of the cinnamon roll layer. Open remaining tube of cinnamon rolls and repeat step 4 (cutting and coating cinnamon rolls), then press on top of the apples to form a top layer. Drizzle remaining 1/4 cup maple syrup over top.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven until the top is golden brown and puffy, 30 to 35 minutes.

Step 7

Heat 2 icing packets in the microwave for 5 to 10 seconds; drizzle over the casserole. Serve immediately.
