Ingredients in this recipe

For the cinnamon rolls

2 cans refrigerated cinnamon rolls or homemade
1/4 cup melted butter
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon

For the apple pie filling

4 cups peeled and diced apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp, or any from your garden)
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon of lemon juice
1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 tablespoon of all-purpose flour

For the Glaze

1 cup powdered sugar
2 to 3 tablespoons of milk
1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract

Step-by-step instructions

Step 1

Turn on and preheat the oven to 350 °F (175 °C). Grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with butter or as preferred.

Step 2

Open the cans of refrigerated cinnamon rolls and set the topping aside. Cut each cinnamon roll into quarters. Alternatively, you can use homemade cinnamon rolls.

Step 3

In a bowl, mix together the melted butter, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon until well combined.

Step 4

Place half of the cinnamon rolls in the bottom of the prepared baking dish.

Step 5

In another bowl, mix the diced apples, granulated sugar, lemon juice, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and all-purpose flour until the apples are evenly coated.

Step 6

Spread the apple pie filling over the first layer of cinnamon rolls in the baking dish.

Step 7

Top the apple pie filling with the remaining cinnamon roll quarters.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 to 30 minutes, or until the cinnamon rolls are golden brown and cooked through.

Step 9

While the casserole is baking, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add more milk if needed to reach desired consistency.
