Equipment
- 1 9 x 13 inch (23 x 33 cm) baking pan
- 1 mesh strainer
- 2 bowls
- 1 knife
- 1 large spoon
Ingredients
- 21 oz. can apple pie filling
- 2 17.5 oz canned cinnamon rolls
- ¼ cup (50 g) light brown sugar
- 1 - 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon or apple pie spice
- ¼ cup (59 ml) melted butter
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 F (177 C). Lightly grease a 9 x 13 inch (23 x 33 cm) casserole dish with about 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of melted butter.
- Gather two bowls and a mesh strainer. Pour the entire can of apple pie filling into the mesh strainer. Gently press the sauce through the mesh into one bowl, reserving the apple chunks inside of the mesh strainer. It’s fine if some sauce still coats the apples. Transfer the apples into the second bowl, cut any larger pieces into chunks and set aside.21 oz. can apple pie filling

- Bake the apple cinnamon rolls for 45 - 50 minutes or until the center pieces of cinnamon rolls are no longer doughy. This is easily checked by scooping a small portion out of the center. If the dough is fluffy, it’s finished baking. If the cinnamon roll is doughy, bake for an additional 5 - 10 minutes. Start checking around 40 minutes.
- Cool the apple cinnamon roll casserole on a cooling rack for 15 minutes. Drizzle the reserved icing from the icing packets and enjoy!
