Cinnamon Roll Crumb Cake
I’ve been wanting to re-make this Cinnamon Roll Crumb Cake for a while now! It’s one of those recipes we love, but we just don’t have it very often! I’m so thrilled to not only update this post – but I’ve also added a video to show you how easy it really is!
If you’re looking for an easy breakfast idea – especially for Easter -or any holiday, really (hint, hint) – then I have the perfect solution for you! Since this Cinnamon Roll Crumb Cake starts with a tube of refrigerated cinnamon rolls, it’s a breeze to whip up! Your family will think you’re a rock star – and no one has to know just how easy this crumb cake really is! It’ll be our little secret! ?
We usually serve our Cinnamon Roll Crumb Cake with bacon (or sausage links), scrambled eggs, and fresh fruit. Although this is great for a holiday (Easter morning would be great!), you don’t have to wait that long if you don’t want to! ? We occasionally enjoy this for a Sunday breakfast or when we have company over for the night or weekend.
If you don’t already have one, you’ll need an 8-inch cake pan for this recipe. Any brand of refrigerated cinnamon rolls will work for this recipe – you’ll want a tube that is about 16-17.5 oz. My family loves this so much that I usually have to make two for our family of six …. so consider making two also if you have a large family or if people might want more than one serving! This recipe for Cinnamon Roll Crumb Cake is so easy peasy – and a family favorite! Get ready to receive your rock star status! You deserve it!

Made this for thanksgiving and it was a huge hit! I only had a 9inch pan so I thinly sliced a few apples and went around the outer edge with them to fill the gap, which turned out to be a good choice! Will make again!
Is there another way to make this. Besides a 8 inch pan?.Like maybe double it for a 13×9 baking pan?? TIA
Yes! You can use an 8-inch or 9-inch square pan. Obviously, the shape will be different. I’ve never tried doubling it for a 9×13 pan, but it should be ok as well. You may need a little more baking time on it.
Can i make this the night before?
Yes!
