Easy Apple Cinnamon Roll Bake
This might be the easiest recipe ever! You can make it with just two ingredients, which makes it perfect for busy days, Bible study groups, weeknight desserts, or an easy recipe to make with the kids or grandkids. It also travels well and can easily be prepped a day ahead.
Bake it for about 45 minutes, or until the top is a beautiful golden brown and the cinnamon rolls are cooked through.
One important tip: don’t follow the baking time on the cinnamon roll package. Since the rolls are baking on top of the apple filling, they need extra time in the oven. Pull them out too soon and you’ll end up with a gooey center instead of that perfectly golden, fluffy topping. Have so much fun baking this fall!
Apple Cinnamon Roll Bake
A delicious easy weeknight dessert using just two main ingredients! It's so easy if feels like cheating.
Ingredients
- 2 can Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls with icing
- 2 (20 oz.) cans apple pie filling
- Nonstick cooking spray
- Optional:
- 1/4 cup of cinnamon sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
- Spread both cans of apple pie filling evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
- Open the cans of cinnamon rolls and set the icing packets aside. Cut each cinnamon roll into four pieces.
- If using cinnamon sugar, place it in a small bowl. Add the cinnamon roll pieces a few at a time and gently toss until lightly coated.
- Arrange the cinnamon roll pieces evenly over the apple filling, leaving a little space between them so they have room to expand while baking.
- Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until the cinnamon rolls are golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove from the oven and allow the bake to cool for about 10 minutes.
- Place the reserved icing in a microwave-safe bowl and warm for 5–10 seconds, just until it is easy to drizzle.
- Drizzle the warm icing generously over the top of the Cinnamon Roll Apple Bake.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
