Ingredients
  

1 can (16 oz) refrigerated cinnamon rolls (including icing)

2 medium apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled, cored, and diced

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

1/4 cup raisins (optional)

1/4 cup butter, melted

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup cream cheese (optional, for a creamier texture)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9x13-inch baking dish by greasing it with non-stick cooking spray or brushing it with butter to prevent sticking.

    Prepare the Cinnamon Rolls: Carefully open the can of cinnamon rolls and separate each roll. Use a sharp knife or kitchen scissors to cut each roll into quarters. Place the cut pieces evenly in the greased baking dish to create a base for your bake.

      Prepare the Apple Mixture: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the diced apples, packed brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and if desired, the chopped pecans or walnuts, as well as the raisins. Toss the ingredients gently until the apple pieces are thoroughly coated with the sugar and spices.

        Layer the Ingredients: Pour the apple mixture over the cut cinnamon rolls in the baking dish, spreading it evenly to ensure every piece is infused with flavor.

          Combine Wet Ingredients: In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and vanilla extract until well blended. Drizzle this buttery mixture evenly over the apple and cinnamon roll layer. If you are opting to use cream cheese, blend it until smooth in a separate bowl and then dot it over the top of the bake for a creamy texture.

            Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. The dish is done when the cinnamon rolls are golden brown and cooked through, with the apples bubbling slightly around the edges.

              Ice the Bake: Remove the baking dish from the oven and immediately drizzle the icing that came with the cinnamon rolls over the warm bake to enhance its sweetness and flavor.

                Serve: Allow the bake to cool for about 5-10 minutes before slicing into squares for serving. Enjoy your delightful Cinnamon Apple Bliss Bake warm, and consider pairing it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra treat!
