I couldn’t resist putting my own spin on this decadent Pinterest recipe. At The One Life Planner, we strive to create a life we’re proud of. That typically includes healthy lifestyle choices, but dang it, we have one life and deserve a treat here and there! I think being healthy most of the time and practicing a healthy lifestyle allows us to enjoy an occasional treat guilt free.

I first made this recipe for Lee to comfort him when his grandmother passed away. We enjoyed the cinnamon apple crisp bowls on a slow Saturday morning over coffee and a movie. Next time you find yourself with a bunch of half mushy apples or need a sweet treat, give this one a try!

INGREDIENTS

1 container of cinnamon rolls (includes icing)

1 cup cinnamon toast crunch cereal

FOR CINNAMON APPLES:

2 tbsp butter

Splash of lemon juice

1 tsp cinnamon

1/2 cup water

Directions

1. Preheat oven to temp on the cinnamon roll container.

2. Flip a muffin pan upside down and wrap raw cinnamon rolls in a cup form.

3. Bake the cinnamon rolls (I recommend a minute or 2 under the suggested time).

5. Top with crushed Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal and icing.

TO MAKE CINNAMON APPLES:
