How to Prepare Caramel Pull-Apart Cinnamon Rolls:
Creating delightful Caramel Pull-Apart Cinnamon Rolls begins with refrigerated biscuits, a time-saver that ensures your rolls remain soft and fluffy—my favorite brand is Pillsbury. Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, mix equal parts brown sugar and cinnamon, ensuring each biscuit is well-coated when rolled. Melt unsalted butter and allow it to cool slightly before using it as the binding agent. Dip each biscuit in the butter, then roll in the cinnamon-sugar mixture for a sweet finish.
Next, arrange the coated biscuits in a greased baking dish. As they bake, the brown sugar caramelizes, forming a luscious coating on the bottom of your pull-apart rolls. After about 25 minutes, remove them from the oven and let cool briefly. For a finishing touch, whisk together powdered sugar and milk to create a simple glaze, drizzling it generously over the warm rolls.

Baking Tips for Caramel Pull-Apart Cinnamon Rolls:
When making Caramel Pull-Apart Cinnamon Rolls, follow a few essential tips for success. First, use fresh yeast for light and fluffy rolls; check the expiration date if using dry yeast. Next, ensure your ingredients are at room temperature—this helps the dough rise effectively. When preparing the caramel, heat it gently to avoid burning, and consistently stir for a smooth texture.
Allow the rolls plenty of time to rise; this step is crucial for achieving the perfect soft consistency. Don’t forget to grease your baking dish to prevent sticking. For an extra flavor boost, consider adding a sprinkle of sea salt over the caramel before baking.
