Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls with Apple Pie Filling

Cinnamon rolls and apple pie filling are things that everyone seems to love and adore.

After all, what’s not to enjoy when you’ve got a warm and tender cinnamon roll right before you, loaded with a sweet apple pie filling, drizzled with tons of icing? Talk about mouthwatering.

If you’re a cinnamon roll lover like my family, you will be making cinnamon roll apple bake for so many different occasions.

I love how quick and easy it is, plus the ingredients are usually on hand at my house and you only need 3 items!

If you’d like a bit of crunch, sprinkle some chopped pecans or walnuts over the apple pie filling before adding the biscuits and whipping cream on top.

Cinnamon Roll Apple Bake recipe ingredients

• Pillsbury canned cinnamon rolls: I prefer Pillsbury cinnamon rolls, but you can use your favorite brand of refrigerated canned cinnamon rolls.
• Apple pie filling: I think Wilderness apple pie filling has the best flavor and consistency, plus the apples are always fork-tender.
• Kosher salt: This ingredient is completely optional, but sure does enhance and round out all the flavors, trust me. Sprinkling a tiny bit of kosher salt over the apple pie filling will cut the sharpness of the sweetness – your tastebuds will thank you.
• Whipping cream: This adds just a bit of richness to the breakfast bake and makes it so luscious in texture.

How to make cinnamon roll apple bake

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9×13-inch casserole dish with nonstick spray.

Spread both cans of the apple pie filling evenly over the bottom of the prepared casserole dish.

If desired, sprinkle just a smidge of kosher salt over the pie filling.

Using your kitchen shears, cut each cinnamon roll into six bite-size pieces.

Place these over the top of the apple pie filling.

Pour the cream over the cinnamon roll pieces.

Bake the breakfast casserole for about 45 minutes, uncovered, until the cinnamon rolls are fully baked and golden brown.

To check if this is fully baked, test the cinnamon roll bites at the center.

Use two forks to pull them apart, checking inside gently.

If the inside looks like dough, the casserole needs to bake longer. If the inside looks like bread, the casserole is done.

Slightly warm the icing that came with the canned cinnamon rolls, then drizzle it over the warm cinnamon roll apple bake. Serve at once.

Can this recipe be cut in half?

Yes, sread one can apple pie filling over the bottom of a greased 8×8-inch or 9×9-inch baking pan.

Top with the cinnamon roll pieces from one roll, then drizzle with 2-3 Tbs. whipping cream.

Bake in a preheated 350 degree F. oven for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown and set at the center. Drizzle with icing and serve at once.

Can this dish be made ahead of time?

You can assemble the cinnamon roll apple bake the night before, cover, and refrigerate until morning when you want to bake it.

I do this all the time and it works perfectly.

To help it bake evenly, remove the casserole from refrigeration about an hour before you’d like to bake it and let it rest, uncovered, on the counter. Bake as the recipe directs.

If you bake the cinnamon roll apple bake chilled, straight from the fridge, you will likely need to add at least 10-15 minutes to the original baking time.

How to reheat

If you aren’t serving this cinnamon roll cobbler warm and fresh from the oven, be sure to reheat the servings just a bit in the microwave to really enhance all the flavors.
