Step-by-Step: How to Make Apple Cinnamon Roll Bake
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and lightly coat a 9×13 inch baking dish with non-stick spray.
- Open the cinnamon roll tubes and set aside the icing for later.
- Cut each cinnamon roll into fourths and place them in a large mixing bowl.
- Add both cans of apple pie filling to the bowl.
- Gently stir the mixture to combine evenly.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out into an even layer.
- Bake for 45 to 50 minutes or until the center is fully cooked and the top is golden.
- Remove from oven and drizzle with the reserved icing.
- Serve warm and enjoy the cozy flavors!
Helpful Tips
- Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center. It should come out clean and free of raw dough.
- If the top is browning too quickly, cover loosely with foil for the final 10 minutes of baking.
- Allow it to cool for 5 to 10 minutes after baking so the dessert can firm up before serving.
- Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top for a decadent treat.
Substitutions And Variations
- Use low-sugar or homemade apple pie filling for a healthier twist.
- Add chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts for crunch.
- Swap apple pie filling for cherry or peach pie filling for a fun flavor variation.
- Sprinkle extra cinnamon or a dash of nutmeg for a spiced-up version.
