This Cinnamon Roll Apple Pie has an amazing flavor combination that's unexpected! It's got a layer of traditional apple pie and then topped with miniature cinnamon rolls. It's FANTASTIC! Make it as a great fall dessert - for Thanksgiving! #ThanksgivingDessert #Thanksgiving #ThanksgivingRecipe #ApplePie

When I realized that cinnamon rolls were a fantastic pairing for so many fall flavors, I started using them all over the place! It started with my Cinnamon Roll Pumpkin Pie recipe and just escalated from there. You might say I’ve gone a bit crazy with the cinnamon rolls, but it’s a tasty topping and I love how unique it is.

How To Make A Cinnamon Roll Apple Pie

I’m all about keeping things super easy. You don’t have to jump through hoops in order to have a delicious dessert that everyone enjoys. The cinnamon rolls are refrigerated and the pie crust is store-bought already made. Of course, you’re more than welcome to make a homemade pie crust, but why go through all of the trouble. Especially if you’re cooking on Thanksgiving – use some shortcuts.

What To Serve With Your Cinnamon Roll Apple Pie

Honestly, this pie just speaks for itself. You don’t need to serve anything with it, but there are few pairings that just work naturally. Make a fresh pot of coffee, have some homemade whipped cream ready to go and vanilla ice cream. I make several pies for Thanksgiving and have the whipped cream and ice cream available to anyone who wants to add it.

Want to make a custom dessert table for Thanksgiving? It’s easy to set up a beautiful set of pies that everyone can enjoy. Personally, I like a little slice of every dessert for my holiday (no shame here). Here are some great ideas:

Tips For Making Your Perfect Cinnamon Roll Apple Pie

  • Make sure your pie crust is thawed before unrolling. I like to use the Pillsbury brand of pie crust.
  • Watch the edge of your pie crust while it’s baking. If it looks like it’s browning too much, cover the edges with aluminum foil.
  • For the beautiful whipped cream edging, use a piping bag and tip set.

What You’ll Need From The Grocery Store:

  • Apple
  • Sugar
  • Flour
  • Ground Cinnamon
  • Kosher Salt
  • Unsalted Butter
  • Pre-made Pie Crust (refrigerated section)
  • Package of Cinnamon Rolls With Cinnamon Icing
  • Powdered Sugar
  • Whole Milk
  • Piping Bag With Star Tip
