Description

This Apple Pie Cinnamon Roll Bake is a delightful and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch casserole that combines the warm spices of cinnamon rolls with the sweet, tender apples of a classic apple pie. Using store-bought cinnamon rolls and apple pie filling, this comforting dish is perfect for fall mornings or any time you crave a cozy, delicious treat. Topped with creamy icing after baking, it offers a perfect balance of gooey, spiced sweetness and fruitiness in every bite.

Ingredients

Scale

Cinnamon Roll Mixture

  • 2 cans of cinnamon rolls (such as Pillsbury)
  • ¼ cup melted butter
  • 2 tbsp light brown sugar
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon

Apple Pie Topping

  • One 21 oz can of Apple Pie Filling
  • 2-3 tbsp heavy cream
  • Icing from cinnamon roll cans (reserved)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch casserole dish to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare Cinnamon Rolls: Open both cans of cinnamon rolls and set the accompanying icing aside in the refrigerator. Cut each cinnamon roll into 4-6 small triangles for even layering and easy serving.
  3. Mix Cinnamon Roll Pieces: In a medium bowl, combine the cinnamon roll pieces with melted butter, light brown sugar, and ground cinnamon. Toss thoroughly until all pieces are evenly coated with this mixture.
  4. Layer Cinnamon Rolls: Spread the coated cinnamon roll pieces evenly into the prepared casserole dish, creating a uniform layer as the base of your bake.
  5. Prepare Apple Pie Filling: Open the can of apple pie filling and pour it into the same or a separate bowl. Chop the apple slices into smaller pieces if desired, then mix them back into the filling liquid to ensure even distribution.
  6. Add Apple Filling and Cream: Pour the apple pie filling evenly over the layer of cinnamon rolls. Drizzle 2-3 tablespoons of heavy cream over the top to add richness and moisture during baking.
  7. Bake the Casserole: Place the casserole dish in the oven and bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the cinnamon rolls are fully baked and no longer doughy in the center.
  8. Cool and Add Icing: Remove the bake from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes. Once slightly cooled, spread the reserved icing evenly over the top before serving warm for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • This recipe is perfect for fall and uses convenient store-bought ingredients for quick preparation.
  • If you prefer a less sweet version, consider reducing the brown sugar or skipping the icing.
  • Cutting the cinnamon rolls into smaller pieces ensures they bake evenly and soak up the apple pie filling flavors nicely.
  • Letting the bake cool slightly before adding icing prevents it from melting into a glaze and keeps it thick and creamy.
  • Serve warm for a comforting brunch or delightful dessert option.
