Yields cinnamon rolls

Peel, core and dice apple. Set aside. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add brown sugar and corn syrup. Stir until smooth and sugar is dissolved (once mixture comes to a simmer). Remove from heat and stir in the heavy cream, vanilla, and salt. Careful, it may bubble up.
Remove the Rhodes AnyTime® Cinnamon Rolls from the included foil tray (alternately use a deep 9-inch pie dish). Pour the caramel mixture on bottom. Sprinkle evenly with diced apple pieces, and place frozen cinnamon rolls on top.
Bake at 350˚F for 35-45 minutes, until rolls are golden brown on top and the temperature of the dough in the center of the rolls is 190-200˚F. Cover with foil if top browns faster than the center bakes. TIP: Place a baking sheet covered with foil on the rack below the cinnamon rolls to catch any caramel spills.
Immediately, and CAREFULLY, invert the caramel apple rolls onto a serving plate or baking sheet. TIP: Invert onto a parchment lined baking sheet for easy clean up.
OPTIONAL: Warm the included cream cheese frosting packet with hands. Cut off corner and drizzle over warm rolls. Enjoy warm.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 3 days. Nuke rolls individually for 15 seconds in the microwave to reheat.
NOTE: Rhodes AnyTime® Cinnamon Rolls are baked right away, while still frozen, and come in a box. Rhodes Thaw, Rise, and Bake Cinnamon Rolls that come in a bag would need rising time, which might allow the apples to release extra liquid into the caramel, potentially ruining it. Make sure you buy the correct product. Check photo in post as a reference.
