Ingredients and Substitutions
Cinnamon Rolls - Canned rolls found in the refrigerated section is the best shortcut. Chose your favorite brand, popular ones are Pillsbury Grands, Immaculate, Annie’s and my personal favorite Trader Joe’s.
Apple Pie Filling - Pick your favorite brand of canned pie filling.
Butter - Salted or unsalted will be delicious. You can also use a butter substitute as well. I’ve seen other recipes that use heavy cream, which I have not tried but I’m sure it would be a great substitute.
Sugar - Dark brown sugar is best, it helps gives that brown baked look and great flavor.
Cinnamon - Choose your favorite ground cinnamon brand or even a pumpkin or mixed spice blend.
Variations and Add In’s
As the cinnamon rolls bakes it soaked up the butter and apple flavor, it becomes so ooey gooey delicious.
Some canned pie fillings just does not have enough flavor for my preference. So I add dark brown sugar and warm spices.
You can also top this bake with extra flavors and additions, before or after baking.
