Servings 8
Ingredients
- 2 cans cans Pillsbury cinnamon roll dough
- 2 20 oz cans apple pie filling
- ½ cup heavy cream or half/half
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees
- Cut each precooked cinnamon roll into ¼ pieces.
- In a 13x9 pan, add ½ cup to bottom of casserole dish.
- Next, spread the cinnamon roll dough pieces evenly to bottom of the pan.
- Add 2 cans of apple pie filling and spread evenly throughout casserole dish.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the dough is cooked through.
- Drizzle icing from cinnamon roll package on top. I recommend heating the icing up for about 10-15 seconds prior to help the icing come out of the container.
- Serve while hot.
Notes
- The heavy cream on the bottom of the pan is the secret. It keeps the dough from drying out on the bottom and creates this slightly custardy, rich layer underneath everything that makes this taste way more indulgent than three ingredients should.
- Don't skip heating the icing before drizzling. Ten seconds in the microwave turns it from stiff and clumpy to a smooth, pourable glaze that covers the whole pan evenly.
- Check it at the 40-minute mark. Every oven runs a little differently and you want the dough cooked through but not overdone.
- Serve hot. This is a warm-from-the-oven situation and it's significantly better that way than at room temperature.
