  • Yield: 1 9x13-inch casserole

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Place diced apples in a large skillet over medium heat with brown sugar, 1/2 cup maple syrup, 2 teaspoons cinnamon, and nutmeg. Mix together and simmer until apples are tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain apples and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, whisk milk, eggs, and remaining 1 teaspoon cinnamon together in a bowl.
  • Open 1 tube cinnamon rolls; set icing aside. Cut each cinnamon roll into 6 pieces. Place all pieces into the milk mixture and mix around until fully covered. Remove from the milk mixture and press into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  • Evenly place spiced apples on top of the cinnamon roll layer. Open remaining tube of cinnamon rolls and repeat step 4 (cutting and coating cinnamon rolls), then press on top of the apples to form a top layer. Drizzle remaining 1/4 cup maple syrup over top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the top is golden brown and puffy, 30 to 35 minutes.
  • Heat 2 icing packets in the microwave for 5 to 10 seconds; drizzle over the casserole. Serve immediately.
