Total Time: 2 hours 40 minutes
Servings: 8

Ingredients

  • 2 tubes refrigerated cinnamon rolls
  • 1 1/2 cups apple pie filling, I like to cut the apple slices into pieces
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup half-and-half or heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Cut each cinnamon roll in 4 pieces.
  • Spray a 6-quart slow cooker with cooking spray. Place half the cinnamon roll pieces in the bottom of the crock pot.
  • Spoon half the apple pie filling on top of the cinnamon rolls as evenly as possible.
  • Top with remaining cinnamon rolls.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together eggs, half-and-half, brown sugar, cinnamon and vanilla.
  • Pour mixture on top of cinnamon rolls.
  • Spoon remaining apple pie filling on top. Cover and cook on LOW for 2 1/2 to 3 hours.
  • Spread the icing that came with the cinnamon rolls on top of the casserole and serve.

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.
