tips to make 2 Ingredient Cinnamon Roll Apple Cobbler (Quick & Easy Dessert!)

  • Use fresh apple pie filling from the can for a good texture.
  • If cinnamon rolls are large, cut them so they bake through.
  • Place the baking dish on a sheet pan to catch any bubbling filling.
  • Let it cool a few minutes so the filling sets and is easier to serve.

variation (if any)

  • Add 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon or nutmeg to the apple filling for more spice.
  • Stir in 1/2 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans) over the apples before adding rolls for crunch.
  • Use pear pie filling instead of apple for a different flavor.

FAQs

Q: Can I use homemade cinnamon roll dough?
A: Yes. Use ready-to-bake pieces or homemade dough. Bake until the dough is fully cooked and golden.

Q: Can I make this in a smaller or larger pan?
A: Yes. Adjust the number of rolls and bake time. A larger pan will bake faster; a deeper dish may take longer.

Q: Can I freeze leftovers?
A: You can freeze cooled cobbler in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge and reheat before serving.

Q: What oven temperature is best?
A: 350°F (175°C) works well to bake the rolls through without burning the top.

Q: Is it ok to skip the icing?
A: Yes. Skip it for less sweetness or add a dusting of powdered sugar before serving.
