    🍯 Why This Recipe Works

    1. It's the perfect combination of flavors and textures. I love the sweet and juicy apples bursting with flavor and crunching next to the soft spiced cinnamon roll pieces. Top it off with icing and maybe a sprinkling of chopped pecans and you're really in for a good time!
    2. It's simple to make. Made with canned cinnamon rolls and a container of your favorite apple pie filling, you can easily create this fall treat in your own home.
    3. It's great for breakfast and dessert. Whether you choose to start or end your day with a slice of this recipe, you're in for a real treat! Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream and it's out of this world!

    🥘 Ingredients

    ingredients needed to make cinnamon roll apple cobbler.

    Ingredient Notes:

    Cinnamon rolls: Use 2 of the 12.5 ounce sized cans of cinnamon rolls with icing. You can use any brand but I recommend using the ones that actually unroll.

    If you still have cinnamon rolls left, try them in our Cinnamon Roll Monkey Bread, or for seasonal fun try our Cinnamon Roll Intestines.

    Apple pie filling: Use your favorite apple pie filling. Homemade apple pie filling works great too (you'll need about 2 cups). You can try our Instant Pot Apple Pie Filling, it's the same one we use in our Apple Pie with Graham Cracker Crust.

    Pecans: If desired, add some chopped pecans over the top. It really helps to make the dish feel more like Fall.

    For specific ingredients and measurements, please see the recipe card below.

    🔪 Instructions for Cinnamon Roll Apple Cobbler

    Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and grease the inside of a 9x13 baking dish. Set it aside.

    Step 2: Open your cans of cinnamon rolls and then remove them from each other so that they are all laying flat on a cutting board. Slice each one into quarters and then place it into your baking dish in a nice and even layer if possible.

    Step 3: Drizzle the melted butter over the top of the cinnamon rolls.

    Step 4: Spoon your apple pie filling nicely over the top, trying to spread out the apple chunks and filling as you can so that each piece will have a good amount of everything.

    Step 5: If desired, you can sprinkle ¼ cup of chopped pecans over the top of the cinnamon rolls at this point.

    Step 6: Bake in the oven at 350 degrees F for 1 hour and remove from oven. Check the center cinnamon rolls to see if they have finished cooking through and if they have, set the pan aside for 10 minutes to cool.

    Step 7: Open a packet (or both packets) and drizzle the icing over the top of your apple cinnamon roll cobbler.

    Slice, serve, and enjoy!

    🍴 Recipe Tips

    1. It's Not a "Traditional Cobbler"- This recipe resembles more of a monkey bread than a traditional cobbler, as my husband pointed out. Whether you call it an apple cinnamon monkey bread or a cobbler, it's undeniably delicious.
    2. Recipe Preparation- To make this apple pie bake with cinnamon rolls, begin by slicing the cinnamon rolls into quarter-sized pieces, resembling monkey bread. Drizzle butter over the top for a golden color during baking.
    3. Testing Doneness- When checking for doneness, sample a small piece from the center, as the apple pie filling may leave some cinnamon roll pieces gooey. If necessary, add 5 minutes to the baking time and repeat until cooked through. Cooling the dish for 10 minutes helps thicken the filling and finish cooking.

    💭 Recipe FAQs

  • Does apple cobbler need to be refrigerated?
  • Yes, this apple pie cobbler will need to be kept in the fridge when not being eaten. This will help to ensure that it is still fresh and safe to consume when ready.

    How to reheat apple pie cobbler

    If you would like to enjoy it warmed through, simply place it in the oven or microwave for a few minutes to warm it up. That said, this cinnamon roll apple pie filling cobbler tastes great when chilled too.

    Can I use a different pie filling?

    Yes! Spice things up with this cobbler by tossing in a different fruit pie filling. You can't go wrong with peach or cherry; they taste awesome too!

          I was excited to try this easy apple cobbler recipe. It tasted good BUT, it was very dry. 🙃 Not like cobbler texture at all. Next time I am gonna put in the same amount of apple filling, But Less cinnamon roll pieces. It only got moist when I topped it with Vanilla ice cream. Thanks for sharing.
