Ingredients
- 2 cans refrigerated cinnamon rolls (with icing packets included)
- 1 can (20–21 oz) apple pie filling (or homemade)
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ cup caramel sauce (plus more for drizzling, optional)
- 2 tbsp butter (optional, cut into small pieces)
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
-
Cut each cinnamon roll into quarters and spread evenly across the bottom of the baking dish.
-
Spoon apple pie filling over the cinnamon rolls and sprinkle with ground cinnamon.
-
Drizzle caramel sauce over the apple layer. Add butter pieces on top for extra richness if desired.
-
Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until cinnamon rolls are golden and cooked through.
-
Let the dump cake cool for 10 minutes, then drizzle with the reserved icing from the cinnamon rolls.
-
Serve warm as-is or with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
- Add chopped pecans or walnuts for a crunchy texture.
- Use maple syrup or brown sugar glaze in place of caramel for a fun twist.
- Try with different pie fillings like peach or cherry for seasonal variations.
- For homemade apple filling, simmer sliced apples with cinnamon, sugar, and cornstarch until soft.
