Welcome

I am addicted to cooking and baking. I love to find and make delicious recipes. Sometimes I create my own and I post them here. Other times I find a recipe and adapt it. I have posted those recipes here as well. Enjoy.

CINNAMON ROLL APPLE CRISP


Ingredients

Crust Ingredients:
2 Pillsbury refrigerated pie crusts
6 teaspoons cinnamon
¼ cup sugar
6 tbsp butter, melted
16 inch pizza pan

Crust Directions:
Roll out pie crusts individually on a lightly floured surface. Brush with butter and sprinkle evenly with cinnamon. Roll up the two pie crust rolls tightly and slice into 1/2-inch rounds, like miniature cinnamon rolls.
Press miniature cinnamon rolls, flat side down, evenly into the 16” pizza pan, making sure there are no spaces between the rolls.   Around the edges, push up like you are making a tart.  This will keep the apples on the crust. Set aside.

Apple Ingredients:
6 large apples (I used granny smith and gala)
1 Tablespoon lemon juice
4 Tablespoons Flour
1 teaspoon apple pie spice
2/3 cup sugar

Apple Directions:
Add lemon juice to a large bowl.  Peel and slice apples into little triangles.  Add apples one at a time to the bowl with lemon juice and stir after each apple (or section of apple).  The lemon juice will help keep the apples from turning brown.  Add the flour, apple pie spice and sugar.  Mix well.  Pour the apple mixture onto the cinnamon roll crust.

Cooking Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.  Cut foil into strips and form around the edges of the crust.  (remove strips 10 minutes before the crisp is done.  Bake for 35 – 40 minutes (or until the apples are tender.) Pour the caramel sauce over the crisp immediately after it comes out of the oven.  Cut into pizza slices and serve warm with vanilla ice cream.
