I had seen this easy recipe using a can of Pillsbury cinnamon rolls and apple pie filling all over Instagram and on a whim I grabbed the two ingredients before heading out camping with the family.

After combining the two ingredients together I baked them up in a dutch oven. We ate this deliciousness by a campfire and everyone was so happy!

One of the main reasons I love this recipe is because it’s just these two ingredients and it takes only a few minutes to prepare.

BAKE CINNAMON ROLLS

Place the cinnamon rolls into a preheated 350 degree F. oven for 45 to 50 minutes, until the center is baked through and the top is golden brown.

DRIZZLE WITH ICING

While the cinnamon roll bake is still warm from the oven, stir up the icing that was previously set aside and drizzle it over the top. Make sure to enjoy this dish while it’s still warm for that extra gooey deliciousness!

One Tube or Two?

If you want to halve the recipe, to feed a smaller crowd, you definitely can.

*Baking times will be shorter for a half batch (about 25 to 30 minutes).

How To Make Ahead & Store

Make Ahead:

Wanna get a head start on this recipe? You can easily prepare the cinnamon rolls ahead of time by combining it all in the casserole dish. Cover and place in the fridge overnight.

In the morning, simply uncover and bake!

I wouldn’t prepare this further than 24 hours in advance prior to baking.

Storing:

After the cinnamon roll bake has finished cooking, you can cool to room temperature, cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days.

Since I think this is best served warm, I would scoop out a serving and pop it in the microwave for about 15 to 30 seconds to heat up and enjoy!
