STEP FIVE – Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. I like to move around some of the cinnamon roll pieces to the top and they get a little more browned.

STEP SIX – Bake in 375°F oven for 25 to 30 minutes until fully baked.

STEP SEVEN – Drizzle with icing and serve warm.

  1. Someone brought this to our Thanksgiving dinner, and it was so good! Hubby is not crazy about apple, so I wonder if it would work well with peach pie filling.

  2. Sandra,
    Thanks for the simple but delicious desert recipe. I will remember this the next time I need a quick desert.
    I have some pumpkin spice rolls in the fridge that might marry well with the peach pie filling Christy mentioned. I think I’ll give that a whirl.

  3. A huge crowd pleaser and you don’t have to let them know just how easy it is to make. The apples are really delicious add on!!

  4. Made this tonight with Peach pie filling and sugar free cherry pie filling because I had these on hand. Wish I could post pictures because they were beautiful!! Yummy

  5. Hi and thanks for the recipe. This tasted like raw dough except the top pieces. Wish I was a bigger fan. I even left it in an extra five minutes. Then again, I can’t stand the texture of chicken and dumplings so …. It was a great simple recipe so if I try it again the pie filling just gets dumped and then topped with the rolls

  6. Hi. I am confused. Do you bake the cinnamon rolls ..and then, once they are cooled down..Do you Then cut them in pieces and mix with canned appled, and then bake it in a casserole dish. Or do you cut them in pieces and take the raw pieces and bake it with the apple together? Your recipe says to remove the cinnamon rolls from the package…but then do you cut them up raw, and mix with apple its not making sense and i dont want to ruin it. please help

  7. This was the bomb.
    I added toasted chopped pecan..
    The larger size pan would work for the person who thought it was under cooked..more crisp top .

  8. Quick, simple, and delicious dessert for any occasion. Made the apple for a friend and her family and a cherry one for myself. They loved it! Since I did two, I split the rolls in half and cut them up in small pieces. Didn’t get a picture of theirs where the rolls were mixed in better. For the cherry it was mostly on the top.

  9. This Cinnamon Roll Apple Cobbler looks absolutely delicious! I love the idea of combining two favorites into one dessert. I can’t wait to give this a try and impress my family at our next gathering. Thanks for sharing this amazing recipe!

  10. Made this for my neighbors, and they said it was yummy!
    I am going to make one with strawberry and see how it turns out.
