Cinnamon Roll Hack
Try this TikTok cinnamon roll hack with apple pie filling! An easy viral recipe made with canned cinnamon rolls.
Ingredients
- 1 can 8 count refrigerated cinnamon rolls with icing
- 1 can 20 to 21 ounces apple pie filling
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter , melted
- 1/2 teaspoon apple pie spice
- 1/2 cup Heavy Cream
- 1/4 cup chopped nuts or raisins , optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven according to the cinnamon roll package directions, usually 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish.
- Remove the canned cinnamon rolls from the package and place them evenly in the prepared baking dish.
- Spoon apple pie filling over and between each cinnamon roll. If the apple slices are large, roughly chop them for easier serving. Sprinkle with apple pie spice if using.
- Brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter.
- Bake according to the cinnamon roll package instructions, typically 25 to 30 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through in the center. If the tops brown too quickly, loosely cover with foil during the last 5 to 10 minutes.
- Let cool for 5 minutes. Drizzle with the icing included in the cinnamon roll package and serve warm.
Notes
Use regular size 8 count refrigerated cinnamon rolls for best results. If using Grands style rolls, bake in a 9x13 pan and add 5 to 10 extra minutes of baking time.
If apple slices in the pie filling are large, roughly chop them before adding for easier serving and more even distribution.
Check doneness in the center roll. If the tops brown too quickly, loosely tent with foil during the last 5 to 10 minutes of baking.
For a softer texture, pour 1/2 cup heavy cream around the rolls before baking.
Drizzle icing over the rolls after they cool for 5 minutes so it melts smoothly without sliding off.
