Cinnamon Roll Apple Cobbler Recipe

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 35–40 minutes
Servings: 8

Ingredients

2 cans refrigerated cinnamon rolls
1 can apple pie filling
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons butter, melted
Icing from the cinnamon roll packages

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Lightly grease an 8×8-inch or 9×9-inch baking dish.
Open the cinnamon roll packages and set the icing aside for later.
Cut each cinnamon roll into quarters.
Add the cinnamon roll pieces to a large bowl with the apple pie filling.
Add the cinnamon and melted butter and gently toss everything together until evenly combined.
Spread the cinnamon roll and apple mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the cinnamon roll pieces in the center are completely cooked through and golden brown.
Remove the cobbler from the oven and drizzle the reserved cinnamon roll icing over the top while it’s still warm.
Serve warm and enjoy!

How Do You Know When Cinnamon Roll Cobbler Is Done?

The top will become beautifully golden as it bakes, but be sure to check the cinnamon roll pieces toward the center of the baking dish before removing it from the oven.

Because they’re surrounded by apple pie filling, the center pieces can take longer to bake than the ones around the edges. They should look cooked and fluffy rather than raw or doughy.

Easy Ways to Make It Even Better

This Cinnamon Roll Apple Cobbler is delicious exactly as written, but it’s also easy to dress up.

For a little crunch, sprinkle chopped pecans or walnuts over the top before baking. You could also add a pinch of nutmeg or extra cinnamon for even more warm spice.

And if you’re serving it for dessert, a scoop of vanilla ice cream over the warm cobbler is hard to beat.

Can I Use a Different Pie Filling?

Absolutely. While apple and cinnamon rolls are a natural combination, you can experiment with other canned pie fillings.

Try peach, cherry, or blueberry pie filling for an easy variation using the same basic recipe.

Is Cinnamon Roll Apple Cobbler Breakfast or Dessert?

Why choose? The cinnamon rolls make this sweet enough for dessert, but it would also be delicious for a special breakfast or brunch.

Serve it warm alongside coffee for a weekend breakfast, or add vanilla ice cream for an easy after-dinner dessert.

How to Store Leftovers

Cover leftover Cinnamon Roll Apple Cobbler or transfer it to an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3–4 days.

Warm individual portions in the microwave before serving to soften the cinnamon rolls and make the apple filling warm and gooey again.
