This dessert is a modern twist on traditional apple desserts, like apple crisp or classic apple pie, but with the convenience of store-bought cinnamon rolls. It’s sweet, comforting, and guaranteed to have everyone asking for seconds—or the full recipe.

Ingredients

  • 2 cans of refrigerated cinnamon rolls (with icing included)
  • 1 can (21 oz) apple pie filling
  • ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans
  • Nonstick cooking spray

Optional Toppings:

  • Extra chopped nuts
  • Drizzle of caramel sauce
  • A sprinkle of cinnamon sugar

Instructions

1. Preheat and Prep

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Spray a 9×13-inch baking dish generously with nonstick cooking spray.

2. Prepare the Cinnamon Rolls

  • Open the cans of cinnamon rolls.
  • Quarter each roll into four pieces (so each cinnamon roll yields bite-sized chunks).

3. Mix the Ingredients

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the quartered cinnamon rolls, apple pie filling, and chopped nuts.
  • Gently fold together until the cinnamon rolls are coated with the apple filling and nuts.

4. Bake the Dish

  • Pour the mixture evenly into the prepared 9×13 baking dish.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until the cinnamon rolls are golden brown, cooked through, and the apples are bubbly.

5. Add the Sweet Finish

  • Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly.
  • Drizzle the included icing from the cinnamon rolls over the top.
  • Optional: Sprinkle extra nuts or cinnamon sugar for added texture and flavor.

6. Serve

  • Serve warm. Pair with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat.

Methods

  • Mixing Method: Gentle folding ensures the cinnamon rolls stay soft and don’t turn into a paste.
  • Baking Method: Moderate heat allows the apples to soften and the rolls to bake through without burning the nuts.
  • Finishing Method: Icing and optional toppings are added at the end to preserve their texture and sweetness.

History

Cinnamon rolls have been enjoyed for centuries, with origins in Sweden and Germany, often flavored with cardamom and cinnamon. Apple desserts are even older, with apple pies and crisps dating back to medieval Europe. This recipe merges these two beloved traditions into a modern, convenient comfort food that’s perfect for busy cooks who still want that homemade warmth.

Formation

This dessert forms a layered texture: soft, sweet, and doughy cinnamon roll bites are interspersed with tender, caramelized apple chunks and crunchy nuts. The final drizzle of icing creates a glossy, irresistible topping. Each forkful delivers a combination of gooey, sweet, tart, and crunchy elements, making every bite memorable.

Conclusion

Whether it’s Christmas morning, a birthday brunch, or a casual weekend treat, this Cinnamon Roll Apple Pie Bake is a crowd-pleaser. It’s easy, fast, and incredibly comforting—a dessert that feels homemade even if it takes just minutes to prepare. Plus, the smell of warm cinnamon and apples wafting from the oven is pure magic.
