Imagine the fluffy texture of baked apple cinnamon rolls paired with the tartness of apple pie filling. Yes, it’s as delectable as it sounds!

One of the best things about this dish is its accessibility. For those looking for simple yet mouthwatering recipes with Pillsbury cinnamon rolls, look no further.

Another star element is the Granny Smith apples. Their tartness perfectly complements the sweet and spicy layers of cinnamon rolls and apple pie filling. The contrast between the pillowy rolls and the slightly tangy apple filling strikes a delicious balance that tantalizes your palate.

Let’s not forget the crowning glory – the crumble topping! It adds a crunchy texture to the moist layers below, making every bite a delightful experience. Combining rolled oats, light brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon, this topping enhances the baked apple cinnamon rolls and elevates the dish to heavenly status.

This Apple Cinnamon Roll Bake is a game-changer for family gatherings, brunches, and even as a unique dessert option. And the best part? The total time from prep to plate is just 60 minutes.

Now you don’t have to choose between bake cinnamon rolls and a classic apple pie; this dish offers the best of both worlds!

So, why settle for one when you can have the best of both worlds?

Toss the wet mixture with diced apples until all apples are coated. Pour the apple mixture evenly over the cinnamon roll layer. Use a spatula to make sure all the liquid from the apple mixture bowl is added to the baking dish.
