I made this tonight, it was a great quick special treat!
Awesome! I am glad you liked it. Super easy. 🙂
Can thi be made in Bundt pan??
I have never made it in a Bundt pan, but I would guess you might have to increase the cooking time to ensure the center gets cooked. Let me know if you try it, I'd love to know how it turns out.
If I make this tonight can it stay out all night and day and serve tomorrow after dinner around 6
It might get a little dry.
I made this for after dinner dessert. Everyone loved it, asked for recipe. This is super quick to prepare and makes a large pan. I've made this several times and every time everyone loved it. I also stirred in some chopped walnuts which made it have a little crunch. VERY GOOD!
Thank you so much for sharing! Love the idea of adding walnuts, I'll do that next time for sure. 🙂
We made this this morning followed all directions and the dough never got done. What am I doing wrong? Do you all everything from the Apple Pie Filling? May we should of used just apple slices. The Cinnamon Roll dough was slimy and totally uncooked
EEEK! I am so sorry you didn't get great results. Not sure that you are doing anything wrong, but maybe a difference between pan size or the way our oven cooks versus yours. I would do this in an 8 x 11 (ish) pan to give room for everything to spread out and cook more evenly. I do have a newer model oven, which cooks a little faster than my older one I recently replaced. If you decide to try it again, feel free to either increase your oven temp by a few degrees or increase the cook time.
Do you have to use the Jumbo? I bought two regular sized packages of cinnamon rolls.
That should work just fine. I've not made it with 2 smaller packs, so the ratio of apples to cinnamon roll might be a bit off, but it will still taste delicious.
To doughy it doesnt cook all the pieces if you mix the apple filling with them
Hmmmm...wonder if the size of the baking dish might have it too "thick" in areas? Or possibly my oven bakes hotter? I'm sorry you didn't get perfect results.
Baked this tonight! Used Pam to coat a small square glass dish, put the cinnamon rolls in the bottom of dish whole(uncut) and poured the apple filling on top. Baked 350 for 40 mins, put the icing on top and it was delicious.
I definitely will try it this way. 🙂
Ive made this twice now. Super easy and everyone loved it!
Thanks so much! It is always good to have a super easy dessert you can pop in the oven.
What size pan is recommended?
I used an oval baking dish equivalent to an 8 x 12 (ish) size. You can also make this in a square 8 x 8 or 9 x 9, but may need to increase cooking time to cook all the way through depending on the thickness and how quick your oven bakes. There is a huge difference in how my old 20-year old oven bakes vs my newer oven. To make sure it is cooked through, the old 'clean toothpick' in center works. I would go undercooked (and let it finish baking in the pan as it cools) vs overcooked.
