(from castro15’s recipe box)

Categories: Breakfast

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 packages frozen dinner rolls, thawed
  • 6 large eggs
  • 2 cups half-and-half
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt
  • 21 oz. can apple pie filling
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/4 cups firmly packed light brown sugar, divided
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened and divided
  • 6 tbsp. light corn syrup
  • Garnish: confectioners' sugar

Directions

  1. Spray a 3-quart baking dish with cooking spray. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Using a serrated knife, cut 15 rolls into 1-inch cubes. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, half-and-half, vanilla and salt.

  3. In another large bowl, place apple pie filling. Using kitchen scissors, cut apple slices into bite-size pieces. Add granulated sugar and cinnamon, stirring to combine. Stir in cubed rolled. Transfer to prepared dish. Pour egg mixture over top. Cover with foil, and refrigerated overnight.

  4. Preheat oven to 375. Let casserole stand at room temp for 30 minutes.

  5. Bake until heated through, about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, stir together flour, 3/4 cup brown sugar, and 1/2 cup butter until crumbly. Uncover casserole, and sprinkle with mixture. Bake, uncovered, until golden brown and set, about 20 minutes more.

  6. In a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan, cook corn syrup, remaining 1/2 cup brown sugar, and remaining 1/4 cup butter over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until heated through and sugar is dissolved. Drizzle with caramel sauce, and garnish with confectioners’ sugar.
