Description
An easy, 5-ingredient dessert featuring tender apples and chewy cinnamon rolls baked in a sweet, caramelized condensed milk sauce. Perfect for busy weeknights and requires minimal prep work.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 cups apples (mixed Granny Smith and Honeycrisp, sliced or frozen)
- 1 can (13.4 oz) refrigerated large cinnamon rolls
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 cup (115g) butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Optional: 1/2 cup walnuts or pecans
- Optional: Vanilla ice cream for serving
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish or line with parchment paper.
- Spread the apples evenly in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle with a pinch of cinnamon if desired.
- Open the can of cinnamon rolls and separate them into individual whole rolls. Do not unroll them.
- Place the cinnamon rolls on top of the apples in a single layer or slightly overlapping.
- Pour the melted butter evenly over the cinnamon rolls.
- Drizzle the sweetened condensed milk over everything, using a spatula to spread it into the cracks between the rolls and apples.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the cinnamon rolls are golden brown and puffy, and the sauce is bubbling vigorously.
- If the tops brown too quickly, cover loosely with aluminum foil for the last 10 minutes.
- Let the cobbler cool for 10 minutes before serving to allow the sauce to thicken.
- Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
For best results, use large refrigerated cinnamon rolls, not mini ones. If using frozen apples, ensure they are thawed enough to separate but not icy. Letting the cobbler cool for 10 minutes is crucial for the sauce to thicken. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 days and reheated in the microwave with a splash of milk.
