This recipe is a testimony to the fact that you don’t need a long list of ingredients to create the world’s best treat. Now, although this recipe is not the world’s best treat, it is the world’s best simple treat.
Let’s go ahead and dive into this delicious concoction that combines the warm, gooey goodness of cinnamon rolls with the sweet, fruity allure of apple filling.
What you will need:
- Can of Cinnamon Rolls
- Apple Filling
Can of Cinnamon Rolls – The shining factor for this recipe is the humble can of cinnamon rolls. Personally, I love cinnamon rolls in a can. But you are more than capable of making your own cinnamon rolls, the only thing you need to do is create your own icing for this recipe!
I do not have a favorite brand of cinnamon rolls, so I normally purchase the off-brand can of cinnamon rolls. But if you do have your favorite brand or want to try a specialty flavor, please do it! The beauty of this recipe is the overall flexibility you have with it. You can make it your own.
In my opinion, the overall beauty of this recipe is the convenience. The premade dough is infused with cinnamon and sugar, which provides the perfect foundation for the cobbler.
Apple Filling – Like I just said, you can be flexible with this recipe. It doesn’t have to be apple filling. You can substitute it with blueberry, peach, or even cherry filling! You can also create your own filling, it really isn’t hard! It’s just the process of combining sliced apples with sugar, cinnamon, and a touch of lemon juice. But again, the beauty of this recipe lies in the convenience.
But don’t cheap out on this step! If you are doing an apple filling, the apples add a burst of fruity flavor and a hint of tartness that perfectly balances the sweetness of the cinnamon rolls.
Let’s go ahead and dive into the steps to gather sensational sweetness.
Start by preheating your oven to the specified temperature on the cinnamon roll can. While the oven heats up, prepare your baking dish by greasing it with butter to oil to ensure the cobbler does not mix.
Pop open the cinnamon rolls, and cut each cinnamon roll into quarters. Once all are cut, place the cut cinnamon rolls into a bowl.
Open your apple filling. Pour that mixture in with the cinnamon rolls.
Mix those two ingredients together until fully incorporated. One extra step that I do is sprinkle some brown sugar on top of the mixture, but this step is optional.
Pour the mixture into your greased pan and pop into the oven.
It took twenty-five minutes to cook, but depending on your oven, it could be more or less. Be sure to keep a watchful eye on it.
Once done, take it out of the oven.
Let it cool off for a few minutes.
Once cool, serve with vanilla ice cream and dig in!
As I stated earlier, one of the most delightful aspects of the Cinnamon Roll Apple Cobbler is its versatility. Please experience different types of filling, homemade or not, or even adding things to the mixture! You can change this up every holiday! As always, let me know how your experience is.
