Print Recipe

Create the ultimate comfort dessert by merging sweet, gooey cinnamon rolls with warm, spiced apple pie filling. This easy recipe uses refrigerated dough for a simple, decadent fusion bake perfect for any gathering.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package (8 count) refrigerated cinnamon rolls, icing packet reserved
  • 1 can (21 ounces) pre-made apple pie filling
  • 1 package (2 count) refrigerated standard pie crusts
  • 1/4 cup caramel sauce (optional, for extra gooeyness)
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter (optional, for brushing)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish.
  2. Unroll both refrigerated pie crusts. Cut the cinnamon rolls in half horizontally to create thinner layers.
  3. On a lightly floured surface, gently roll out the cut cinnamon roll pieces until they are flat enough to cover the bottom of the pie dish. Press the flattened cinnamon roll pieces into the bottom and slightly up the sides of the prepared pie dish to form the base layer.
  4. Pour both cans of apple pie filling evenly over the cinnamon roll base. If using, drizzle the caramel sauce over the apple filling.
  5. Take the remaining cinnamon roll pieces and arrange them over the apple filling to create a top layer or lattice pattern. You can also cut them into strips to weave a top crust if you prefer.
  6. Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. If the edges brown too quickly, cover them loosely with foil.
  7. Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 20 minutes.
  8. Warm the reserved cinnamon roll icing packets slightly. Drizzle the icing generously over the warm pie before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • For an extra decadent treat, serve this warm dessert with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
  • If you want a more traditional crust look, use one full pie crust for the bottom and use the cinnamon rolls only for the top layer.
  • This recipe works well as a sweet breakfast bake if you reduce the sugar content in the filling slightly.
