Scale
Ingredients
- 1 package of 8 cinnamon rolls
- 1 Granny Smith apple
- 1 (20 oz) can of apple pie filling
- 1 1/2 tsp apple pie spice
- Nonstick cooking spray (for greasing the pan)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly spray a 9×13 inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Dice the Apple: Peel and dice the Granny Smith apple into small pieces to add texture and a slight tartness that balances the dessert’s sweetness.
- Cut Cinnamon Rolls: Cut each cinnamon roll into eighths to create bite-sized dough pieces that will bubble up during baking.
- Mix Filling: In a large bowl, combine the apple pie filling with the diced Granny Smith apples. Use a masher to break down any large apple chunks in the canned filling for a consistent texture.
- Add Spices and Dough: Stir in the apple pie spice and the cut cinnamon roll pieces into the apple mixture, ensuring everything is evenly combined.
- Bake: Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until the cinnamon rolls are cooked through and the surface is golden and bubbly.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the dish from the oven and allow it to cool for about 10 minutes. Drizzle the included cinnamon roll icing on top before serving. Enjoy it warm, plain, or paired with a scoop of ice cream for extra indulgence!
Notes
- Use Granny Smith apples for the perfect tart-sweet balance with the cinnamon rolls.
- You can add a scoop of vanilla ice cream when serving for extra richness.
- If you prefer, sprinkle a bit more apple pie spice on top before baking to intensify the flavor.
- Make sure not to overbake; the bubble up should be soft and gooey inside.
- Allow the dessert to cool slightly before adding icing to prevent it from melting completely.
