How to Make Cinnamon Roll Puffs With Caramel Apple Glaze

There are tons of cinnamon roll hacks around and I’ve tried lots of them. This one started out when I checked the pantry to see what I had on hand that could be tasty to add to a can of refrigerated cinnamon rolls. The combination of apples, caramel, and cinnamon is always a hit.

Ingredients:

• 1 Can Refrigerated Cinnamon Rolls
• 1/2 Cup Apple Pie Filling
• 1/4 Cup (plus more for drizzle) Caramel Sauce

Instructions:

1 - Pre heat oven to 400 degrees. 

2 - Slice cinnamon rolls in half.

3 - Press each half into a rectangle.

4 - Roll rectangles into ropes.

5 - Twist two of the ropes together to form a puff.

6 - Using a pastry brush, brush liquid from apple pie filling onto each puff.

7 - Spray baking sheet with non stick spray and add puffs to sheet far enough apart to that they don't touch. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until golden. 

8 - While puffs are baking, chop the apples in the apple pie filling into small pieces and add caramel sauce. Stir. 

9 - Remove from oven and brush on more of the apple pie filling and caramel sauce mixture

10 - Place on serving dish and drizzle with more caramel sauce. Add the icing from the cinnamon roll package if desired. Melt it for 10 seconds in the microwave for drizzle. 

11 - Serve warm or at room temperature. Store in an airtight container.

These are best when served warm, but I tried one after they had been stored in an airtight container for a day and they were still good. If you prefer them warm, pop a couple into the microwave with a damp paper towel on top for about 15 seconds.
