The 3 Ingredients in This Cobbler

  • Apple pie filling: Makes up the fruit base of the cobbler.

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.

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.

Getting the Best Results With This 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.

Notes

  • The calories listed are an approximation based on the ingredients in the recipe card and a serving size of 1 slice of apple cobbler assuming the cobbler is cut into 9 equal pieces. Actual calories will vary.
  • If the edges of the cinnamon rolls brown faster than the center, create a foil tent with an opening in the middle to ensure even browning.
  • Storage and Reheating: If you have any leftovers (which is rare because it’s so delicious!), store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, pop a slice in the microwave for 15-20 seconds or until warmed through.
