Equipment
- 9-inch square baking dish
- pastry brush
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
- 17.5 oz can refrigerated cinnamon rolls I used Pillsbury Grands Cinnamon Rolls
- 1 cup chopped apples from the pie filling
- ½ cup chopped walnuts
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Use a pastry brush and coat a 9-inch square baking dish with the melted butter. Add the cinnamon rolls to the baking dish.
- Bake for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven, spoon the chopped apples over the cinnamon rolls, and sprinkle the chopped walnuts evenly over the top.
- Bake for an additional 7 minutes. Remove from the oven. Allow the cinnamon rolls to cool for 10 minutes.
- In a small bowl, microwave the reserved icing uncovered on high for 5 to 10 seconds, stirring until thin enough to drizzle. Drizzle the icing over the top of the baked rolls.
- Serve warm.
Notes
Make sure your oven is fully preheated to the right temperature before baking. This ensures the rolls bake evenly and develop a nice golden crust.
I know it's tempting to load up on the apple pie filling, but only use a cup of the chopped apples to prevent the rolls from becoming soggy.
