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
- Carefully separate the packaged cinnamon rolls into quarters, ensuring uniform pieces that will distribute evenly throughout the mixture.
- 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.
- Coat a 9×13-inch baking dish thoroughly with cooking spray to prevent sticking and ensure easy serving.
- Distribute the cinnamon roll and apple mixture into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the surface to create an even layer that will bake consistently.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
