Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 ounces Refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 1 large Granny Smith apple
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Chopped pecans or walnuts
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 as needed Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or a large round baking pan with cooking spray.
Peel, core, and finely dice the Granny Smith apple. Set it aside.
In a small saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Stir in the brown sugar and heavy cream, cooking until smooth and bubbly to create the caramel sauce. Stir in the vanilla extract and pour the sauce into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
Sprinkle the chopped pecans (or walnuts) over the caramel sauce in the dish.
Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a clean, flat surface. Press the seams together to form one large rectangle. If using two smaller dough sheets, pinch them together to form a single rectangle.
In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the dough.
Spread the diced apples evenly over the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
Starting from one long side, roll up the dough tightly into a log. Slice the log into 1-inch-thick pieces using a sharp knife or dental floss.
Arrange the cut rolls into the prepared baking dish, cut side up, and spaced slightly apart.
Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and brush it over the tops of the rolls.
Bake in the preheated oven for 23–25 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the dish from the oven and let the buns rest for 5 minutes. Carefully invert the dish onto a large serving platter so the caramel topping drizzles over the rolls.
Serve warm and enjoy your Caramel Apple Sticky Buns!
