Ingredients
Spice Mixture
- ½ teaspoon apple pie spice
- ½ teaspoon sugar
Main Ingredients
- 17.5 ounces Cinnamon Rolls (Pillsbury Grands, one tube)
- 21 ounces Apple Pie Filling (one can)
Instructions
- Preheat & Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly coat a 9×13-inch baking dish with non-stick spray to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
- Make the Apple Spice Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the apple pie spice and sugar thoroughly to create a flavorful sprinkle that will complement the cinnamon rolls and apple filling.
- Assemble the Bake: Open the tube of cinnamon rolls and carefully remove the rolls, setting aside the icing for later use. Cut each cinnamon roll into four equal pieces and distribute them evenly across the prepared baking dish. Evenly sprinkle the apple pie spice and sugar mixture over the cinnamon dough pieces.
- Add the Apple Filling: Spoon the canned apple pie filling evenly on top of the cinnamon roll pieces, ensuring a balanced distribution to infuse the bake with sweet, spicy apple flavor.
- Bake: Place the assembled baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the center is cooked through and the dough is no longer raw or doughy.
- Drizzle & Serve: Once baked, remove the dish from the oven and drizzle the reserved icing over the warm bake. Serve immediately for a comforting and indulgent treat.
Notes
- For a more caramelized top, you can sprinkle a bit of brown sugar over the apple filling before baking.
- Make sure to cut the cinnamon rolls evenly to ensure uniform baking.
- This bake is best served warm to fully enjoy the gooey texture and flavor combination.
- You can replace apple pie filling with fresh diced apples mixed with cinnamon and sugar for a homemade twist.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator and reheat gently before serving.
