Ingredients

For the Rolls:

• 8 lasagna noodles, cooked al dente
• 2 cups (480ml) apple pie filling, chopped
• 1 cup (240g) ricotta cheese
• ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• ½ tsp vanilla extract

For the Topping:

• ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted
• ⅓ cup (70g) brown sugar
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• ½ cup (120ml) heavy cream

Optional Garnish:

• Powdered sugar
• Caramel sauce

Directions

1. Prepare the Noodles:
   Cook lasagna noodles in salted water according to package instructions. Drain and lay them flat on a clean surface to cool.
2. Make the Filling:
   In a bowl, mix ricotta cheese, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract until smooth.
3. Assemble the Rolls:
   Spread a thin layer of the ricotta mixture onto each lasagna noodle. Add a layer of chopped apple pie filling on top, then roll each noodle tightly. Place the rolls seam-side down in a greased baking dish.
4. Make the Topping:
   In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in brown sugar and cinnamon until dissolved. Remove from heat and whisk in heavy cream.
5. Bake the Rolls:
   Pour the topping over the assembled rolls. Cover with foil and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes, or until bubbly.
6. Serve:
   Let the rolls cool slightly before serving. Garnish with powdered sugar and a drizzle of caramel sauce if desired.

Notes

• Substitutions: Swap ricotta with cream cheese for a tangier filling or use fresh, diced apples instead of pie filling for a homemade touch.
• Make-Ahead Tip: Assemble the rolls a day in advance and refrigerate. Bake just before serving.
• Serving Suggestion: Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an indulgent dessert.
• Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
