Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1 can (12.4 oz) Pillsbury Grands! Cinnamon Rolls with icing
  • 1 can (21 oz) apple pie filling
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon melted butter for extra richness
  • Optional: 1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans for crunch

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish or 9-inch pie plate with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. Open the can of cinnamon rolls and separate them. Cut each cinnamon roll into 4-6 smaller pieces using a sharp knife or kitchen shears.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine the chopped cinnamon rolls with the apple pie filling. Gently mix until the cinnamon roll pieces are evenly distributed throughout the apple filling.
  4. Pour the mixture into your prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. If using optional nuts or butter, sprinkle them over the top at this point.
  5. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cinnamon rolls are golden brown and cooked through. The top should be slightly crispy while the inside remains soft and moist.
  6. Remove from oven and immediately drizzle the included cinnamon roll icing over the top. Let it sit for 5 minutes before serving warm.

Notes

Make-ahead magic: Prepare the cinnamon roll bake the night before. Follow all steps except baking, cover tightly with plastic wrap, and refrigerate overnight. In the morning, bake for 30-35 minutes until golden and bubbly. Customization ideas: Try different pie fillings like cherry or blueberry. Add a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg for extra warmth. For a decadent twist, mix in chocolate chips or drizzle with caramel sauce after baking.
