Ingredients
  

For the lasagna
  • 2 cans refrigerated cinnamon rolls with icing
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 large apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced Firm varieties like Honeycrisp or Fuji are recommended.
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice Prevents browning of apples.
  • 1/2 cup caramel sauce For drizzling before serving.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
  3. In another bowl, mix sliced apples with granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and lemon juice.
  4. Cut cinnamon rolls into quarters. Layer half in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, followed by half the cream cheese mixture and half the apple mixture. Repeat layers.
Baking
  1. Bake for about 40 minutes until golden brown on top.
Serving
  1. Serve warm so the cream cheese is soft and the caramel is glossy.
  2. Slice into squares and plate each piece with an extra drizzle of caramel and a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of lightly whipped cream.
  3. Garnish with a sprig of fresh thyme or a dusting of extra cinnamon.

Notes

Let cool to room temperature and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat individual slices in the microwave or oven. For a crisper top, broil for a few minutes before serving.
