Notes
Recipe Notes
Use a 6-quart slow cooker for the best results. A smaller slow cooker may make the casserole too deep for the center to cook properly.
If the apple slices in the pie filling are large, cut them into smaller pieces so the apples are more evenly distributed throughout the casserole.
Slow cookers can vary quite a bit in how hot they cook. Start checking the casserole around 2 1/2 hours, but allow up to 3 hours if needed.
The center is meant to be soft and gooey. If you prefer your cinnamon rolls more fully set, cook the casserole a little longer, keeping an eye on the edges so they don't overcook.
Don't forget to save the icing that comes with the cinnamon rolls. Spread it over the casserole after cooking so it melts into the warm cinnamon rolls.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the microwave.
