Description

This Apple Pie Cinnamon Roll Bake is an irresistible fusion of classic cinnamon rolls and comforting apple pie flavors. Featuring store-bought cinnamon rolls coated in a buttery, cinnamon-sugar mixture layered with sweet apple pie filling and baked to golden perfection, this casserole makes for a quick and cozy breakfast or brunch option, especially perfect for fall mornings.

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 Layer and Topping

  • One 21 oz can of Apple Pie Filling
  • 2-3 tbsp heavy cream
  • Reserved icing from canned cinnamon rolls (for topping)

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 the two cans of cinnamon rolls and carefully separate them. Reserve the icing packets by refrigerating them for later use. Cut each cinnamon roll into 4-6 small triangles to ensure even baking.
  3. Coat Rolls: In a medium bowl, combine the cut cinnamon roll pieces with the melted butter, light brown sugar, and ground cinnamon. Toss gently until each piece is evenly coated with the buttery cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  4. Layer Rolls in Dish: Spread the coated cinnamon roll pieces evenly in the prepared casserole dish to create a uniform base layer.
  5. Prepare Apple Filling: Open the can of apple pie filling. Using the same bowl or a separate one to save dishes, pour in the apple pie filling. Use a knife to cut any large apple chunks into smaller pieces for easier eating, then stir them back into the filling with its juices.
  6. Add Apple Layer: Pour the apple pie filling evenly over the cinnamon roll pieces in the casserole dish, making sure to coat them as much as possible.
  7. Add Cream: Drizzle 2-3 tablespoons of heavy cream over the layered apple filling to add moisture and richness to the bake.
  8. Bake: Place the casserole dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-50 minutes. The bake is ready when the cinnamon rolls in the center are no longer doughy and the top is golden brown.
  9. Cool and Ice: Remove the bake from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes. Then, spread the reserved cinnamon roll icing evenly over the warm bake for a sweet finishing touch.
  10. Serve: Serve warm for a delicious, comforting breakfast or brunch treat perfect for the fall season.

Notes

  • This recipe uses store-bought cinnamon rolls and apple pie filling, making it quick and simple for busy mornings.
  • Cutting the cinnamon rolls into smaller pieces helps them bake evenly and absorb the flavors better.
  • The heavy cream adds moisture and richness but can be adjusted based on preference.
  • If you prefer a less sweet dish, use less brown sugar or reduce the icing amount.
  • For an added crunch, sprinkle some chopped nuts like pecans on top before baking.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated and gently reheated in the oven or microwave.
