Combine the best of two desserts: a classic apple pie filling topped with gooey, sweet cinnamon roll dough for a comforting fusion bake.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box (8 count) refrigerated pre-made cinnamon rolls
  • 2 cans (21 ounces each) pre-made apple pie filling
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for icing)
  • 2 tablespoons milk or cream (for icing)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish.
  2. Pour both cans of apple pie filling into the prepared pie dish. Stir in the 1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon and 1/4 cup of granulated sugar to enhance the apple flavor. Spread the filling evenly.
  3. Open the package of refrigerated cinnamon rolls. Separate the rolls but do not remove them from the can.
  4. Arrange the cinnamon rolls on top of the apple filling. You can place them close together to form a solid top layer or space them slightly apart to create a lattice effect.
  5. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the crust edges are golden brown and the cinnamon rolls are cooked through and puffed.
  6. While the pie bakes, prepare the icing. Whisk together the 1/2 cup powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons of milk or cream until smooth. Add more milk if needed to reach a drizzling consistency.
  7. Remove the pie from the oven. Let it cool for 10 minutes.
  8. Drizzle the prepared icing generously over the warm cinnamon rolls on top of the pie before serving.

Notes

  • If you prefer a crispier topping, you can use store-bought pie crust for the bottom and only use the cinnamon roll dough for the top layer.
  • For an extra gooey texture, bake the cinnamon rolls slightly less time, as the residual heat from the apples will continue to cook them.
  • This dessert pairs well with vanilla ice cream.
