Ingredients
- 1 package pre-made pie crust
- 1 can canned apple pie filling
- 1 package cinnamon rolls
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 2 ounces cream cheese
Instructions
- On a floured surface, unroll the cinnamon roll dough and flatten it with a rolling pin until it's about 1/4 inch thick, forming a large rectangle.
- Sprinkle the flattened dough with 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar mixed with 1 teaspoon of cinnamon.
- Spread the apple pie filling evenly over the flattened cinnamon roll dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Starting from one long side, roll up the dough tightly, encasing the apple filling.
- Slice the rolled-up dough into 1-inch thick pieces to create individual cinnamon roll swirls with apple filling.
- Arrange the cinnamon roll slices in the greased baking dish, placing them cut-side up for a nice presentation.
- Brush the tops with 2 tablespoons of melted butter for a golden finish
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- While the pie is baking, prepare the cream cheese frosting (if using) by mixing 2 ounces of softened cream cheese, 1/4 cup powdered sugar, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1–2 tablespoons milk until smooth
- Once baked, let the pie cool for about 10–15 minutes, then drizzle with cream cheese frosting or dust with powdered sugar, if desired
