Ingredients
Scale
Cinnamon Roll Layer
- 2 cans of cinnamon rolls (such as Pillsbury)
- ¼ cup melted butter
- 2 tbsp light brown sugar
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
Apple Pie Layer
- One 21 oz can of Apple Pie Filling
- 2-3 tbsp heavy cream
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch casserole dish to prevent sticking.
- Cut Cinnamon Rolls: Open the two cans of cinnamon rolls and save the icing by refrigerating it for later use. Cut each cinnamon roll into 4-6 small triangular pieces for even layering.
- Coat Cinnamon Rolls: In a medium bowl, toss the cinnamon roll pieces with the melted butter, light brown sugar, and ground cinnamon until all pieces are evenly coated. Then spread this mixture evenly into the prepared casserole dish.
- Prepare Apple Pie Filling: Open the can of apple pie filling and transfer it to the same bowl used for the cinnamon rolls, or a new bowl if preferred. Cut the apple slices into smaller pieces on a cutting board if necessary, then mix the apples back with their syrupy liquid.
- Assemble the Dish: Pour the prepared apple pie filling evenly over the coated cinnamon rolls in the casserole dish. Drizzle the heavy cream over the entire top to add richness.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 40-50 minutes, or until the cinnamon rolls in the middle are cooked through and no longer doughy.
- Cool and Ice: Let the bake cool for about 10 minutes before spreading the reserved icing on top. Serve warm for the best experience.
Notes
- Using store-bought cinnamon rolls and apple pie filling makes this recipe quick and easy without sacrificing flavor.
- For a less sweet version, reduce the brown sugar or drizzle less icing on top.
- This casserole is perfect for fall breakfast or brunch and can be made ahead and reheated gently before serving.
- Ensure the bake cools slightly before icing to prevent the icing from melting completely and running off.
