Salted Caramel Apple Cinnamon Rolls

There's nothing better on a cold morning than baking up a pan of these warm and delicious 

Salted Caramel Apple Cinnamon Rolls. It's a comforting breakfast that the whole family will love! 

Christmas is right around the corner and I'm behind, as always. Every year I say I'm going to get a jump on my Christmas shopping early, but it never fails that my kids don't give me their lists until last minute. Why do they like to do that? I know..because they're boys! They never know what to ask for which makes it a little harder to start early. Luckily they're handsome! Does the same thing happen in your family?

One thing I've got going for me is my Christmas day menu. Every year we celebrate with my parents at our house so I can get a head start on my planning as early as I want to. These warm and decadent Salted Caramel Apple Cinnamon Rolls are going to be the star of our Christmas morning breakfast and I can't wait!

What I love dearly about these cinnamon rolls is how easy they are to make. You start with a can of Pillsbury™​ Cinnamon Rolls, then make a simple salted caramel sauce with apples to turn them into something ooey, gooey and over the top. Chopped pecans add the perfect amount of crunch. If your family is anything like mine, these cinnamon rolls will be gone in no time!

Shopping at Sam's Club during the holidays makes my life so much easier. I can get everything I need for the holidays in one simple trip. They sell the Pillsbury™ Cinnamon Rolls in a 4-count box, which means I'll have plenty on hand for the whole holiday season. During my recent visit there I also grabbed a tray of the Member's Mark Yeasty Dinner Rolls which are perfect to serve with dinner, but also great for making sliders with any holiday leftovers. I don't know about you but I'm ready for Christmas to get here so I can start eating!

Pecans are definitely my favorite nuts but you can substitute them with your favorite if you wish. Walnuts, hazelnuts or almonds would be equally as delicious. Happy Holidays my friends!
