👩🍳 Instructions
- Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 180°C / 350°F. Grease a baking dish with butter. - Prepare the Apple Mixture
In a large bowl, mix sliced apples, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract, and melted butter until well coated. - Assemble the Bake
Spread the apple mixture evenly in the baking dish.
Add the cinnamon roll pieces on top, spacing them evenly. - Add Cream
Pour the heavy cream evenly over the cinnamon rolls and apples. This helps make the bake soft and gooey. - Bake
Bake uncovered for 35–40 minutes, or until the cinnamon rolls are golden brown and fully cooked. - Glaze the Top
Warm the icing slightly and drizzle it over the hot bake. Add a little milk if you want a thinner glaze. - Serve
