I had a few apples that were starting to get soft so I figured the best thing do was to bake them! Soft apples also make great dog treats, too! So of course, Valkyrie got a few apples pieces while I was shopping up the apples.

Step-by-Step Guide: Making Apple Cinnamon Pull-Apart Bread
1. Preparing the Apples
Wash, peel, and dice the apple into small pieces. This will help the apples cook evenly and give each bite a sweet, fruity burst of flavor in this cinnamon roll and apple dessert.
2. Assembling the Bread
Open the can of cinnamon rolls and separate each roll. Unroll each one, and sprinkle a few apple pieces along the dough before rolling it back up. Layer each roll in a greased baking dish, then scatter any remaining apple pieces on top.
3. Adding Extra Spice (Optional)
For an extra kick of flavor, sprinkle some cinnamon and nutmeg over the rolls. This is optional, but it adds a cozy, fall-inspired touch that pairs perfectly with the apples.
4. Baking and Serving Tips
Bake the bread according to the cinnamon roll package instructions, or until golden brown and the apples are soft. Once out of the oven, drizzle the cinnamon roll icing over the top, letting it melt into the warm bread. Serve immediately as a fall breakfast or easy cinnamon roll and apple dessert!
