Create the ultimate comfort dessert by combining warm, spiced apple pie filling with the sweet, gooey texture of pre-made cinnamon rolls used as a topping. This simple hack delivers a memorable flavor fusion with minimal effort.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package (8 count) refrigerated cinnamon rolls, icing reserved
  • 2 cans (21 ounces each) pre-made apple pie filling
  • 1 package (2 count) refrigerated pie crusts (for the bottom crust)
  • Caramel sauce, for drizzling (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a standard 9-inch pie plate.
  2. Unroll the pie crusts. Press one crust into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared pie plate to form the base.
  3. Pour both cans of apple pie filling evenly over the bottom crust. Spread the filling out so it covers the base.
  4. Cut each of the 8 cinnamon rolls in half horizontally. You will have 16 pieces.
  5. On a lightly floured surface, gently flatten each half-roll piece slightly.
  6. Arrange the flattened cinnamon roll pieces over the apple filling. Place them close together to cover the surface, overlapping slightly if needed.
  7. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the apple filling is bubbly and the cinnamon roll topping is golden brown.
  8. Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes.
  9. Warm the reserved cinnamon roll icing slightly. Drizzle the icing over the warm topping. Add extra caramel sauce, if using.
  10. Serve warm for a truly gooey dessert experience.

Notes

  • For an even richer flavor, you can use the caramel sauce from the cinnamon roll package, if included, in addition to the icing.
  • If you prefer a crispier topping, bake for an extra 5 minutes uncovered.
  • This recipe works well as a sweet breakfast bake or a decadent dessert replacement for traditional apple pie.
