I’m in my element when I can let my creativity shine in the kitchen. One of my passions is coming up with new mouthwatering recipes to share with my family, friends and of course, you, my wonderful readers. I’m not alone either as many Canadians also share this same love for experimenting in the kitchen.
If you’re a regular reader, you’ve probably noticed that I use many Pillsbury and Betty Crocker products in my recipes. There’s a reason for that – they are super easy and so versatile to use in the kitchen. Think Betty Crocker Cake Mix doughnuts, Pillsbury stuffed crescent rings and the obvious one, Monkey Bread. And yes, I have several versions of Monkey Bread if you search through my dessert recipe box.
Pillsbury and Betty Crocker are celebrating this creativity with their first-ever Bake It Possible contest where they are encouraging Canadians to share their best new creations made with Pillsbury and/or Betty Crocker products. The lucky winner will receive $10,000 and 15 minutes of fame. Sweet!

I came up with a new original recipe using Pillsbury Refrigerated Flaky Rolls. Meet the sweetest, most decadent dessert (or breakfast!): Apple Butterscotch Buns. It’s a cross between a breakfast casserole and Chelsea buns. My family enjoyed it for dessert after our dinner and I ate the leftovers the next day for breakfast.
The first step is cutting your Pillsbury Refrigerated Flaky Rolls into quarters and then spreading them on the bottom of a greased square pan. Then it’s time to add your layers. Whisked eggs are next and are followed by apple pie filling.
The homemade butterscotch sauce layer is divine! I thought about using caramel, but went for butterscotch since you see so many caramel apple recipes. You don’t see as many butterscotch apple. The sauce is SO good that you’ll be tempted to eat it right out of the pot. I may have licked the spoons and sides of the pot afterwards.
All this yummy goodness bakes in the oven for about 30 minutes. I recommend letting it cool for a good 15 minutes because it will be super hot and you don’t want to burn your mouth. Once it’s ready, scoop generous portions into bowls and enjoy. This is one dessert that I’m still thinking about days later and craving more. It’s a keeper and I’m definitely going to make it again!
I hope you’ll enter the Bake It Possible contest. I’m so excited to see everyone’s recipes and plan to try a few of them out!

I can’t find the Pillsbury flaky rolls do you know something else that can be used in place of them?
Stacie Vaughan says
You could use any of the Pillsbury Grands biscuits.
Beverley Quinn says
Could I use fresh apples
Stacie Vaughan says
I’ve always used apple pie filling and haven’t made it with fresh apples. You’d want the apples to be cooked and sweetened before you’d use them.
