Ingredients

2 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter
2 Eggs
½ Cup Milk of Choice
1 Tablespoon Vanilla Extract
2 Tablespoons Flour
1 Tablespoon Cinnamon
½ Teaspoon Nutmeg
2 17.5 Ounce Packages Cinnamon Roll Dough I recommend using the Pillsbury's or Annie's brands
1 Large Granny Smith Apple chopped and cubed into small pieces
¾ Cup Raw Pecans finely chopped

Instructions

To make this Cinnamon Roll Bake, start by preheating your oven to 350 F.
Next, prepare the baking dish by rubbing butter generously on the bottom of an 8x8 baking dish. Set it aside.
Next, add the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg to a medium-sized bowl and whisk to fully combine. Set the bowl aside while you prepare the cinnamon roll dough.
Roll out the pre-made cinnamon roll dough and cut each cinnamon roll into 6 even pieces. Repeat until all of the cinnamon rolls have been cut, then add them to the greased baking dish.
Pour the egg mixture on top of the cinnamon roll bits and use a spoon to gently mix, being sure that the cinnamon roll pieces are covered in the egg mixture without being soggy.
Then, chop the apple and add it to the baking dish alongside the pecan pieces, stirring again until they're fully coated.
Transfer the cinnamon roll bake into the oven and allow it to bake for 20-25 minutes, until the dough has puffed up, the center is cooked, and the edges are golden brown.
Once it's done, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool for 10 minutes before drizzling the icing on top.
Finally, slice into 12 pieces, then serve and enjoy!
