How to Make Apple Cinnamon Pie with Cinnamon Rolls 🥧
Step-by-step instructions? We've got you covered!
Prepare the Cinnamon Roll Crust
Start by gently removing the cinnamon rolls from the package and pressing them flat. Arrange them in the center of a 9–10" pie plate, ensuring the edges touch. If there are any gaps, trim and adjust the pieces to fit. Set aside for now.
Create the Apple Pie Filling
Mix together the sliced apples, sugar, flour, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg. This heavenly mixture is what makes the center so luscious! Pour the mixture into your pie plate, then gently spread the apples into an even layer. Add the butter cubes on top of the filling for a rich, creamy touch.
Top with More Cinnamon Rolls
Flatten the remaining cinnamon rolls and place them over the apples, covering the top entirely.
Bake to Perfection
Preheat your oven to 400°F and bake for 15 minutes. Remove the pie from the oven and cover the edges with foil to prevent the cinnamon roll crust from over-browning.
Return the pie to the oven and bake for another 25–35 minutes, or until the center is warm and the cinnamon rolls are golden brown.
Cool, Frost, Slice & Serve
Allow the pie to cool slightly before drizzling the cinnamon roll icing on top. The icing adds just the right amount of sweetness to tie everything together. Slice it up and serve your mouthwatering creation!
Tips for Baking the Best Cinnamon Roll and Apple Pie Combo
- Best Apples for Baking: Use firm apple varieties like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp to ensure they hold their shape while baking.
- Get Creative with Spices: Want to add a zestier kick? Sprinkle in a pinch of cardamom or ginger to the filling.
- Perfect Frosting Drizzle: For an Insta-worthy finish, warm the frosting in the microwave for 5–10 seconds before drizzling!
