How to Make Cinnamon Apple Bundt Breakfast
Ingredients for Cinnamon Apple Bundt Breakfast
To make this delicious breakfast dish, you’ll need a few simple ingredients that come together to create a mouthwatering meal:
- 2 tubes of Canned cinnamon rolls: The base of our breakfast, offering a soft and gooey texture.
- 2 Fresh apples: Adds a fresh, fruity flavor and natural sweetness. We prefer to use McIntosh or Cortland apples, but any baking apple will work well.
- 1/2 Cup of Brown sugar: Enhances the cinnamon flavor and adds a rich caramel taste.
- 1/4 cup Butter: Provides a rich, buttery base for the dish.
- 1 Tesaspoon Cinnamon: Adds warmth and depth to the flavor of the apples.
Optional additions include chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts for a crunchy texture, or raisins and dried cranberries for an extra burst of sweetness. For a finishing touch, consider adding a cream cheese glaze or icing.
How to Prepare Your Cinnamon Apple Bundt Breakfast
1. Prepping the Ingredients: Begin by peeling and slicing your apples. You’ll want to use a tart variety like McIntosh or Cortlands for a nice contrast with the sweet cinnamon rolls. Next, separate the cinnamon rolls and cut them into quarters. This will make it easier to layer them in the Bundt pan and ensure an even distribution of flavors.
2. Caramelize the apples:
Melt the butter in a skillet, add the apples, brown sugar and cinnamon.
Saute until the apples are slightly translucent, soft and caramelized.
Remove them from the heat.
3. Layering in the Bundt Pan:
Butter your Bundt pan generously to prevent sticking. Start by placing a layer of cinnamon roll pieces at the bottom, followed by a layer of caramelized apples.
Repeat these layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of cinnamon roll pieces on top.
This layering technique helps to create a beautifully marbled breakfast with pockets of caramelized apples throughout.
Baking Your Breakfast Delight to Perfection
1. Baking Time and Temperature: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the breakfast dish for 35-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This ensures that the dish is fully cooked without overbaking, which can lead to a dry texture.
2. Tips for a Moist Breakfast: To achieve the perfect moist and tender texture, make sure to check the dish at the 35-minute mark. If it’s not fully baked, continue to check every 5 minutes until it’s done. Overbaking can dry out the breakfast, so keep a close eye on it.
Serving and Storing Your Cinnamon Apple Bundt Breakfast
1. Presentation Ideas: Once your breakfast has cooled slightly, carefully invert it onto a serving plate.
Dust the top with powdered sugar for a simple yet elegant finish. You can also drizzle it with a cream cheese glaze or icing for added sweetness and a beautiful presentation.
2. Pairing Suggestions: This breakfast dish pairs wonderfully with a hot cup of coffee or tea. For a more indulgent breakfast, serve it alongside a bowl of creamy yogurt and fresh fruit. The flavors of cinnamon and apple complement these additions perfectly, making for a balanced and delicious meal.
Storage and Reheating Tips
1. Storing Your Breakfast: To keep your dish fresh, store it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. If you’d like to keep it longer, you can refrigerate it for up to a week. Just be sure to cover it well to prevent it from drying out.
2. Reheating Instructions: To enjoy your breakfast warm, simply microwave individual slices for 20-30 seconds. This will revive the soft, gooey texture of the cinnamon rolls and make the apples tender and juicy once again.

I love how easy this recipe was! I whipped it up in no time, and it’s such a treat in the morning with coffee. I used a mix of red and green apples, which gave a nice variety of flavors. Next time, I think I’ll try adding raisins or dried cranberries for some extra texture.
