Caramel Apple Cinnamon Roll Dessert Delight

Ingredients

- 1 batch cinnamon roll dough, homemade or store-bought
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large apples, peeled, cored, and diced
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans work well)
- Whipped cream for serving
- Vanilla ice cream for serving
- Caramel sauce for drizzling

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. Prepare the Apple Filling
In a medium bowl, combine the diced apples, 2 tablespoons of melted butter, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, salt, lemon juice, and all-purpose flour. Mix well to ensure the apples are evenly coated.

3. Prepare the Dough
Roll out the cinnamon roll dough on a floured surface into a rectangle approximately 12x10 inches.

4. Add Apple Mixture
Spread the apple mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

5. Add Nuts
Sprinkle the chopped nuts over the apple mixture.

6. Roll and Slice
Carefully roll the dough from one long side to the other, forming a log. Slice the log into about 8 equal pieces.

7. Arrange in Baking Dish
Place the slices, cut side up, into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish.

8. Bake
Brush the tops of the rolls with the remaining melted butter. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

9. Serve
Allow the rolls to cool slightly before serving. Top with whipped cream and a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Drizzle with caramel sauce for an extra decadent touch.
