On a flat surface sprinkled with flour, roll out dough to make a 12 x 8 inch rectangle.
Stir together the cinnamon filling ingredients and sprinkle onto the dough. Top with a single layer of apples.
Roll the dough to make a 12” log. Then slice into 2” sections.
Place the 8 cinnamon rolls into a greased 9 inch round pan and bake for 30-45 minutes.
While the rolls cool slightly, combine the caramels with the half and half and place in the microwave. Heating at 20 second intervals and stirring in between until melted.
