SALTED CARAMEL APPLE CINNAMON ROLLS RECIPE BY TASTY



Salted Caramel Apple Cinnamon Rolls Recipe by Tasty image

Consider these cinnamon rolls fall-ified. We stuffed our classic cinnamon rolls with thinly sliced Granny Smith apples and drizzled them with homemade salted caramel sauce. It's ooey, gooey goodness in every bite. Enjoy for breakfast or dessert!

Provided by Betsy Carter

Categories     Desserts

Time 3h5m

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 Homemade Cinnamon Roll
2 granny smith apples, sliced into 1/4 in (6 mm) wedges
1 tablespoon lemon juice
unsalted butter, for greasing
1 cup sugar
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
½ cup heavy cream, room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon flaky sea salt

Steps:

  • Prepare the cinnamon roll dough and filling according to the recipe instructions.
  • Add the apples and lemon juice to a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 20-second increments, until the apples are softened and limp.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 9 x 13-inch (22x33 cm) baking dish with butter.
  • Roll the dough into a large rectangle about ½-inch (1.24 cm) thick. Straighten the corners with a bench scraper to make sure they are sharp and even.
  • Spread the filling evenly over the dough, then arrange the apple slices on top, leaving about ¼ inch (6 mm) between each slice. Try to keep your slices in straight rows, it's okay if the tips of the apple slices touch or overlap.
  • Starting from a short end, roll the dough into a log and pinch the seam closed. Place the log seam-side down and trim off the uneven ends. Using unflavored dental floss or a sharp knife, cut the log into even pieces, each about 1½ inches (3 ½ cm) thick. Place the rolls in the prepared baking dish, cover with a kitchen towel, and set in a warm place for 35-45 minutes, until expanded in volume by about 50%. If not baking immediately, skip this step, cover with plastic wrap and freeze for up to 3 months.
  • Bake the cinnamon rolls for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool for at least 10 minutes.
  • While the cinnamon rolls bake, make the salted caramel sauce: Add the sugar to a small saucepan and cook over medium heat, swirling the pan occasionally but not stirring, until it starts to turn amber brown, 5-6 minutes.
  • Add the butter and stir in until incorporated, 1-2 minutes..
  • Slowly drizzle in the cream and whisk to combine. Boil for 1 minute, then remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla and flaky salt. Let cool and thicken slightly before using.
  • Pour the salted caramel sauce over the cinnamon rolls, then serve.
  • Enjoy!

Provided by happiness05

Categories     Desserts     Specialty Dessert Recipes     Caramel Apple Recipes

Time 50m

Yield 5

Number Of Ingredients 6

5 large Granny Smith apples
1 (14 ounce) package individually wrapped caramels, unwrapped
2 tablespoons water
7 ounces chocolate candy bar, broken into pieces
2 tablespoons shortening, divided
1 cup colored candy coating melts

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Dip apples into boiling water briefly, using a slotted spoon, to remove any wax that may be present. Wipe dry, and set aside to cool. Insert sticks into the apples through the cores.
  • Line a baking sheet with waxed paper and coat with cooking spray. Place the unwrapped caramels into a microwave-safe medium bowl along with 2 tablespoons of water. Cook on high for 2 minutes, then stir and continue cooking and stirring at 1 minute intervals until caramel is melted and smooth.
  • Hold apples by the stick, and dip into the caramel to coat. Set on waxed paper; refrigerate for about 15 minutes to set.
  • Heat the chocolate with 1 tablespoon of shortening in a microwave-safe bowl until melted and smooth. Dip apples into the chocolate to cover the layer of caramel. Return to the waxed paper to set.
  • Melt the candy melts in the microwave with the remaining shortening, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth. Use a fork or wooden stick to flick colored designs onto your apples for a finishing touch. Refrigerate until set, overnight is even better.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of apples. Different apples have different flavors and textures, so using a mix will give your caramel apples a more complex flavor. Some good choices include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn.
  • Make sure the apples are cold. This will help the caramel harden quickly and prevent it from running off the apples.
  • Use a good quality caramel. The caramel is the star of the show, so make sure you use a good one. You can either make your own or buy a good quality store-bought caramel.
  • Be careful not to overcook the caramel. Overcooked caramel will be too thick and difficult to work with.
  • Dip the apples in the caramel quickly and evenly. This will help to prevent the caramel from getting too thick on the apples.
  • Sprinkle the apples with your favorite toppings while the caramel is still wet. This will help the toppings to stick to the apples.
  • Let the caramel apples cool completely before eating them. This will allow the caramel to harden and set.

Conclusion:

Caramel apples are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. By following these tips, you can make perfect caramel apples every time. So get creative and have fun!
