Tried a brand-new twist on a classic treat today – Cinnamon Roll Apple Pie Bake! Combining the warm, spicy flavors of cinnamon rolls with the comforting sweetness of apple pie, this dessert is sure to be a crowd pleaser! Perfect for surprise guests, holiday gatherings, or just because! Can’t wait for you to try it.
Ingredients
- 2 packages refrigerated cinnamon rolls with icing (16 pieces in total)
- 2 cups of pre-made apple pie filling, chopped into bite-size pieces
- ½ tablespoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 5 tablespoons of melted butter
- ⅓ cup of packed brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon
- 1 cup of whole pecans
For the Garnish:
- Icing from the packaged cinnamon rolls
- Maple syrup (optional, but recommended)
Instructions
Begin by setting your oven to preheat at 375°F. In the meantime, take a 3-quart casserole dish and apply a layer of butter to its interior to prevent sticking.
Next, open your cinnamon roll packages and keep the included icing separate for later use. Then, quarter each roll, placing the pieces evenly within the buttered casserole dish.
Drizzle the melted butter over the dispersed pieces of cinnamon roll, ensuring each piece is lightly coated.
Mix the brown sugar and cinnamon together in a separate bowl, then evenly distribute this sweet and spicy mix over the butter-doused cinnamon roll pieces.
Pour the apple pie filling into a larger bowl. After cutting the apples into smaller pieces, return them to the bowl, adding the fresh lemon juice. Stir until the mixture is well combined.
Carefully spread this mixture atop the cinnamon roll pieces in the casserole dish, followed by a scattering of pecan halves. Gently mix the ingredients within the dish, but avoid over-stirring, you want a nice variety of textures and flavors.
Cover your dish with a lid or aluminum foil, then place in your preheated oven. Allow this aromatic concoction to bake for 40 minutes.
Remove the cover and bake for an additional 3-5 minutes, watching closely for the dish to become golden brown and the pecans to toast without burning.
As the dish cools slightly, place the saved icing in a microwave-safe bowl and heat for 10 seconds, until it’s reached a drizzling consistency.
Artistically drizzle the warm icing over the baked masterpiece. Serve warm and enjoy!
