Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Delicious Apple Walnut Cinnamon Rolls.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and greasing a 9x13-inch baking dish to ensure your rolls don’t stick. This is the first step to a perfect bake!
Step 2
Next, roll out one can of crescent rolls on a clean cutting board. Use a rolling pin to flatten it into a 9x13-inch rectangle, making sure the seams stay intact. Repeat this with the second can of crescent rolls, and then stack the two sheets on top of each other to create a double crust. This will give your rolls a delightful, flaky texture.
Step 3
In a mixing bowl, combine 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, 1/4 cup of brown sugar, 1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon, 1/4 cup of crushed walnuts, and the diced Golden Delicious apple. Mix these ingredients well and then sprinkle the mixture evenly over the dough. This is where the magic happens, as the flavors meld together!
Step 4
Now, roll the dough lengthwise to form a long tube. Once rolled, slice it into 1-inch pieces. Place these rolls into your prepared baking dish, making sure they are facing up to showcase their delicious filling.
Step 5
In a saucepan over medium-high heat, melt 1 cup of softened butter with 1 1/2 cups of granulated sugar. Stir continuously until the sugar completely dissolves, which should take about 5 minutes. Once melted, remove the saucepan from the heat and whisk in the citrus-flavored soda. This bubbly mixture will create a sweet, sticky sauce that will soak into your rolls!
Step 6
Pour this delightful mixture over the cinnamon rolls in the baking dish, ensuring they are well-coated. Now, it’s time to bake! Place the dish in your preheated oven and bake for about 30 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and no longer doughy in the center. The aroma will fill your kitchen and make your mouth water!
Step 7
Once baked, let the rolls cool for about 5 to 10 minutes. Then, flip them out of the baking dish onto a serving platter, allowing the sticky sauce to drizzle over the top. Serve warm and enjoy the delightful combination of flavors!
How to Serve
These Apple Walnut Cinnamon Rolls are best served warm, drizzled with the sticky sauce from the baking dish. Pair them with a cup of coffee or tea for a delightful breakfast or afternoon treat!
How to Store
To store any leftovers, place the rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, refrigerate them for up to a week. Reheat in the microwave for a few seconds before serving to enjoy their gooey goodness again!
