Ingredients Needed:

Refrigerated cinnamon rolls
Apples
Sugar
Water
Cornstarch
Vanilla
Ground cinnamon

Cinnamon Roll Dough: I used standard Pillsbury refrigerated cinnamon rolls. Actually, two different types. The majority of rolls used were the one piece rolls. I did however, use a few rolls that unrolled. Both will work for this pie. I recommend sticking with the regular size rolls, not the “grands” version. You will need two packages, but, you probably won’t use all the rolls.

Apples: Chopped & peeled. A few varieties that work well in apple pie- – granny smith, jazz, pink lady golden delicious & jonagold. You are looking for an apple that is firm and tart. You can also use a combination of different types of apples.

How to Make + A Few Notes:

First, remove the rolls from the package. With a rolling pin, roll each roll out flat.
Then, layer the bottom and sides of the pie plate with the flattened rolls.
Make your filling and pour it into that cinnamon roll pie crust. When making your filling, keep a close eye on it. It should only take about 5-8 minutes for it to thicken, but, will burn quickly!
Next, add another layer of those flattened cinnamon rolls on top of the apples. Be sure to seal up any open holes with your fingertips.
Cover and bake. Remove the cover and bake a bit more.
Once done, let it cool for about 15 minutes. Then, drizzle the top with the icing from the packages.
Cool for about 15 more minutes before serving. Your filling will seem a little messy when the pie is still warm. But, it will thicken up as it cools.
