Whether served for brunch or dessert, this cinnamon roll apple pie never fails to impress.
Instructions
1
Prep the pie crust
2
Preheat the oven to 400°F. On a lightly floured surface, roll the pie crust out into a 1/8-inch-thick circle and transfer it to a 9-inch deep dish pie plate. Trim the crust to lay 1/2 inch beyond the rim of the pie plate. Flute the edges.
3
Make the apple filling
4
In a large bowl, stir together the brown sugar, sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Stir in the melted butter, lemon juice and vanilla extract until they're smooth. Stir in the apples until they're thoroughly coated. Spoon the filling into the prepared crust.
5
Prep and add the cinnamon roll crust
6
Remove the cinnamon rolls from the can and set aside the icing. Place the cinnamon rolls on a cutting board. Use a rolling pin to flatten the cinnamon rolls into a 1/4-inch-thick sheet. Place the sheet of cinnamon rolls on top of the apples. Press the edges of each flattened cinnamon roll together to form a top crust. Press the edges together with the bottom pie crust to seal.
7
Bake the pie
8
Cover the pie with foil and bake it for 30 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake the pie until the top is browned, 10 to 12 minutes longer.
9
Add the icing
10
Drizzle the icing on top of the cinnamon roll apple pie and serve it.
