Description

Warm cinnamon roll apple bake brings comfort and sweetness to classic breakfast favorites. Gooey apple-filled pastry combines rich flavors that invite you to savor each delightful, homemade bite.


Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • 2 cans (16.5 ounces / 467 grams) cinnamon rolls, quartered
  • 1 can (21 ounces / 595 grams) apple pie filling

Nuts:

  • 1/2 cup (60 grams) chopped walnuts or pecans

Topping:

  • Cinnamon roll icing (from the cans of cinnamon rolls)

Instructions

  1. Carefully separate the packaged cinnamon rolls into quarters, ensuring uniform pieces that will distribute evenly throughout the mixture.
  2. Transfer the quartered rolls into a spacious mixing bowl, combining them gently with apple pie filling and chopped nuts to create a harmonious blend of textures and flavors.
  3. Coat a 9×13-inch baking dish thoroughly with cooking spray to prevent sticking and ensure easy serving.
  4. Distribute the cinnamon roll and apple mixture into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the surface to create an even layer that will bake consistently.
  5. Position the dish in a preheated oven at 350°F, allowing the dessert to bake for approximately 45 minutes until the cinnamon rolls develop a golden-brown color and reach a fully cooked state.
  6. Remove the baked dish from the oven and immediately drizzle the included cinnamon roll icing across the warm surface, letting it melt and create a glossy, sweet finish.
  7. Allow the dessert to rest for 3-5 minutes, which helps the ingredients settle and makes serving easier, then slice and present this warm, comforting treat to eager guests.

Notes

  • Use room-temperature ingredients to ensure even mixing and consistent texture throughout the bake.
  • Swap walnuts with almonds or omit nuts entirely for nut-free dietary needs, maintaining the dessert’s delightful crunch and flavor profile.
  • Consider using fresh diced apples instead of canned pie filling for a less sweet, more natural taste and added nutritional value.
  • Try a sprinkle of extra cinnamon or nutmeg on top before baking to enhance the warm, aromatic spice levels of the dessert.
