š“ RECIPE TIPS
As my husband pointed out to me, this is more like a cinnamon roll apple pie filling monkey bread instead of a traditional cobbler as you may be trying to picture it. But whether you consider this an apple cinnamon monkey bread or a cobbler, it still tastes delicious.
To make this apple pie bake with cinnamon rolls you’ll be slicing the cinnamon rolls into quarter-sized pieces just like you would for a cinnamon roll monkey bread. And you’ll be drizzling butter over the top so that the cinnamon rolls can turn a nice golden color as they bake.
When you go to check to see if the rolls have finished baking properly, make sure to take a small piece out of the center to test for doneness as the apple pie filling could cause some cinnamon roll pieces to remain gooey from the excess moisture. I didn’t have this problem but it is still a risk for bigger cinnamon rolls.
If you find your cinnamon rolls are still too gooey or undercooked, just add 5 minutes to the baking time and then test again. Repeat until cooked through. Allowing the dish to cool for 10 minutes helps to thicken the filling and finish the cooking process.
Does apple cobbler need to be refrigerated?
Yes, this apple pie cobbler will need to be kept in the fridge when not being eaten. This will help to ensure that it is still fresh and safe to consume when ready. If you would like to enjoy it warmed through, simply place it in the oven or microwave for a few minutes to warm it up. That said, this cinnamon roll apple pie filling cobbler tastes great when chilled too.
Cinnamon Roll Cobbler
Okay, yāall, are you ready for this one? Three words, only two ingredients: Cinnamon Roll Cobbler. Will you eat this for breakfast or for dessert? Or BOTH?
Have you ever watched Dance Moms? Jordan loves that show and it freaks the heck out of me because Jordan loves to dance and sheās almost to the competition point. You guys, I am not, nor will I ever be, a dance mom.
Watch every practice faithfully? Nope, Iāll drop you honey, donāt trip on the car door as I drive away.
Coach the kids on their perfect pointe and smiles? Nope, more like, āOh? Youāre practicing today?ā
Sitting backstage at competitions and recitals helping the girls change, doing make-up, and corralling them? Um, Iāll give that one a NOPE. Iād rather doā¦almost anything else.
Watch Jordan from the audience and cheer as loud as I can? Now THAT I can handle.
All this comes up because today I get to spend 4 hours in the parking lot of our dance studio waiting in line for āVIP Registrationā so I can save 25% on classes and actually get Jordan into the ones she wants before they fill up. Admit it, youāre jealous of my Sunday, right?
At least I had cinnamon roll cobbler for breakfast and Iāll eat it again for dessert.
This recipe blew my mind, seriously. I have one of those Pillsbury recipe-a-month calendars hanging on my wall and Cinnamon Roll Cobbler is Aprilās recipe. When I flipped the month my mouth dropped; how have I never thought of this before?
Their recipe involved boiling canned fruit along with pie filling and I thought that was too difficult. I mean, if Iām making Sunday brunch that means Iām already grumpy, so no prep is wanted.
This recipe is easy, foolproof, and has only 2 ingredients. I know, right? Itās actually easy enough that the kids can make it for you on Motherās Day. Open the cans, dump, bake. No mixing, no bowls, nada.
Just good cobblerā¦topped with cinnamon rolls (and icing, of course).
The only things you need for this recipe are 2 cans of pie filling and an 8-count roll of cinnamon rolls. You can use ANY flavor pie fillings you like. I used apple and cherry because I had them in my pantry, but you could mix and match cherry, apple, blueberry, peachā¦whatever you like. I used a large 10ā³ pie plate but you can also use a 9Ć9 or 11Ć7 pan.
Once the cinnamon rolls are baked you pour the icing that came with them all over the top and serve. The cinnamon rolls make it breakfast food, the pie filling makes it dessert. So which is it??!! (Hint: BOTH.)

What is apple cobbler?
We get a lot of questions about cobbler. Itās not pie. Itās not crisp. Itās COBBLER. Cobbler generally has the same fruit base as a crisp, but instead of being topped with a buttery crumble, itās topped with a dense, biscuit-like topping. Unlike pie, cobbler is crustless so the apple flavor can really shine through. And regular apple cobbler is delicious.
But Iām a maximalist. I was thinking of making an apple cobbler for the blog and then I was likeā¦why not use canned cinnamon rolls instead of biscuits?! I meanā¦why the heck not? This apple cobbler is topped with big buttery cinnamon rolls and is SO delicious. Plus itās made with just six ingredients in ONE bowl AKA wayyyy easier to throw together than a pie.

What kind of apples should you use to make cinnamon roll apple cobbler?
We recommend using a mix of different apples for the most varied deep apple flavor. We like to use both tarter, cooking apples like granny smith and also sweeter apples to deepen the flavor. This will ensure that some of the apples remain tart and crisp while others will break down into a jammy, cinnamon-sugar dream. For the sweeter apples you can use whatever you have on hand: gala, honey crisp, pink lady, envyā¦any kind will do.
HEALTH BENEFITS OF CINNAMON
A favourite household spice, cinnamon was once traded as currency. The spice has a pleasant flavour and warm smell, making it popular in cooking, especially in sweet bakes and savoury curries.
Derived from the inner bark of a small evergreen tree, the bark is peeled and laid in the sun to dry, where it curls into rolls known as cinnamon sticks. Cinnamon is also available in powdered form.

health benefits of cinnamon
1. Anti-viral, anti-bacterial and anti-fungal
Cinnamon is thought to have many medicinal and soothing properties, and is used frequently in Chinese herbal medicine. The distinctive smell and flavour of cinnamon derives from the essential oils contained in the bark, called cinnamaldehyde. Cinnamaldehyde displays anti-viral, anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties.
2. May support gut health
Some spices, including cinnamon, have prebiotic properties. These bacteria may help restore the balance of bacteria in your gut, support digestive health and alleviate any digestive issues.
3. May help manage blood pressure
There is some evidence to suggest that the consumption of cinnamon is associated with a short-term reduction in blood pressure. Although the evidence is hopeful, it is early days and more long-term random controlled trials are needed.
4. Lowers blood sugar and risk of type-2 diabetes
Cinnamon has a reputation for helping manage blood sugar. It appears to do this by a number of different mechanisms, including managing the amount of glucose that enters the bloodstream and mimicking the blood sugar management hormone, insulin.
Human trials are promising and suggest cinnamon may have a moderate effect on lowering fasting blood sugar levels in those with diabetes.
5. May be beneficial for the aging brain
Conditions like Alzheimerās are more common as we age, and are characterised by a progressive deterioration of brain cells. In Alzheimerās, accumulation of protein fragments in the brain act by slowing how a person thinks and remembers. Cinnamon contains two compounds that appear to inhibit the build-up of these proteins. Much of this evidence is derived from animal studies, so there is still more for us to learn with regards to the effects for humans.
Is cinnamon safe for everyone?
For the majority of people, cinnamon is generally recognised as safe when consumed as a culinary spice and in small amounts ā no more than 1 tsp per day is considered safe for most adults, with less for children. In rare circumstances, some people may experience allergic contact dermatitis.
Itās worth remembering that most of the cinnamon purchased from supermarkets is a variety called Cassia cinnamon ā this has a stronger taste and is cheaper to buy. However, it is high in compounds called coumarins, which in large doses may cause toxicity.
Ceylon, or ‘true’ cinnamon, has relatively low levels of coumarins and may be better tolerated.
If consumed in large amounts, cinnamon may interact with prescribed medication, including those for diabetes, heart and liver disease.
