Main Ingredients
  • 2 cans refrigerated cinnamon rolls with icing
  • 4 cups apple pie filling sweet and tender
  • 1 tsp cinnamon to sprinkle
  • 0.5 tsp nutmeg optional
  • 8 oz cream cheese fully softened
  • 0.5 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Equipment

  • 9x13-inch Baking Dish

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Step 2: Flatten half of the cinnamon rolls by pressing them gently with your hands or a rolling pin. Press evenly into the bottom of the baking dish to create a crust.
  3. Step 3: Spread half of the apple pie filling over the cinnamon roll base. Sprinkle with cinnamon and nutmeg.
  4. Step 4: In a bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Gently fold in the whipped topping until light and fluffy.
  5. Step 5: Spread half of the cream cheese mixture over the apple layer, smoothing gently.
  6. Step 6: Repeat layers: flatten remaining cinnamon rolls and press over cream cheese layer. Top with remaining apple filling and sprinkle cinnamon and nutmeg. Spread remaining cream cheese mixture on top.
  7. Step 7: Bake for 30–35 minutes until top is golden and edges bubble. Center should be slightly gooey.
  8. Step 8: Let rest for 10–15 minutes. Drizzle reserved icing and caramel sauce over top before serving warm.

Notes

Make ahead by assembling the night before and refrigerating, then bake fresh. Store leftovers in fridge up to 3 days. Freeze before baking by wrapping tightly; thaw overnight before baking. For variations, try peach or cherry pie filling, add nuts, or use dairy-free alternatives.
