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.
