How to Make Apple Cream Lasagna

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add lasagna noodles and cook according to package directions until al dente. Drain and rinse with cold water; set aside.
3. In a medium saucepan, melt 1/4 cup of butter over medium heat. Add sliced apples, cover, and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until tender, stirring occasionally.
4. Remove from heat and stir in 3 tablespoons of brown sugar, pecans, and cinnamon. Set aside.
5. In a large bowl, beat together softened cream cheese and 3 tablespoons of brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 3 minutes).
6. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
7. Gently fold in the whipped cream until just incorporated.
8. In a small bowl, combine remaining 1/4 cup butter, panko breadcrumbs, and 2 tablespoons granulated sugar.
9. In an 11x7 inch baking dish, spread half of the apple mixture evenly.
10. Layer with 3 lasagna noodles.
11. Spread half of the cream cheese mixture over the noodles.
12. Repeat layers: 3 more noodles, remaining apple mixture, remaining 3 noodles, and remaining cream cheese mixture.
13. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the top.
14. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown and heated through.
15. Let stand for 15-20 minutes before serving to allow it to set slightly.
