Ingredients
  

Canned cinnamon rolls with icing
  • 2 can (17.5 oz) refrigerated cinnamon rolls with icing Use the icing packets too; you’ll reserve them for the drizzle.
Apple layer
  • 1 can (21 oz) apple pie filling
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 0.06 nutmeg A pinch only.
Icing
  • 2 reserved icing packets From the cinnamon roll cans.

Equipment

  • 1 sheet pan

Method
 

Prep and preheat
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a 9x13 baking dish.
Build the apple layer
  1. Spread apple pie filling in an even layer across the bottom of the dish, then sprinkle cinnamon and nutmeg over the apples.
Add the cinnamon roll topping
  1. Open cinnamon roll cans and cut or pull apart each roll into quarters, then scatter the pieces over the apple filling to cover the top evenly.
Bake
  1. Bake for 25–30 minutes at 350°F until the rolls are golden and cooked through, with apple filling bubbling at the edges.
Finish and serve
  1. Drizzle the reserved icing over the warm bake and serve immediately.

Notes

Pro tip: cut the rolls into similar-size quarters so they bake at the same pace and leave fewer pale spots. Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator up to 3 days; rewarm in the oven at 300°F for 8–10 minutes for best texture. Freezing isn’t recommended because the icing and apple filling can change texture. For a lighter option, use reduced-sugar cinnamon rolls and reduced-sugar apple pie filling if available.
