Ingredients You’ll Need
- Apple pie filling: Makes up the fruit base of the cobbler.

- Cinnamon rolls with icing: Creates a soft, sweet topping and adds a wonderful finishing drizzle.
How to Make Cinnamon Roll Apple Cobbler
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Lightly grease an 8×8-inch or 9×9-inch baking dish to ensure your cobbler doesn’t stick.
Prepare the apple filling: In a mixing bowl or in the pan, combine the apple pie filling and apple pie spice. Pour the mixture into your prepared baking dish, spreading it out in an even layer.
Add the cinnamon rolls: Take your can of cinnamon rolls and cut each roll into four equal pieces. Arrange these pieces on top of the apple filling.
Bake your cobbler: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the cinnamon rolls are golden brown and cooked through.
Finish with icing: Drizzle the icing that came with the cinnamon rolls over the top of the warm cobbler. This adds the perfect sweet finish to the dish.
Serve and enjoy: This cinnamon roll apple cobbler is best served warm.
Tips for the Best Cinnamon Roll Apple Cobbler
- Use your favorite cinnamon rolls: While this recipe calls for a can of cinnamon rolls with icing, you can use your favorite brand or try homemade cinnamon rolls (you may only need a half batch if using homemade).
- Add more spice: If you love a bit more spice, consider adding a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg to the apple pie filling before baking.
- Serve with ice cream: For an extra treat, serve this cobbler warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.
- Add chopped nuts: For texture, crunch, and flavor, add some chopped pecans or walnuts.
