Cinnamon Roll Cranberry Apple Pie
This Cinnamon Roll Cranberry Apple Pie is a showstopper dessert that combines the delicious flavors of tart cranberries and apples with a sweet cinnamon roll crust. A beautiful treat for any special occasion or holiday meal.
Ingredients
- 3 (12.4 ounce) cans cinnamon rolls
- 4 Granny Smith apples
- 1 cup fresh cranberries
- 1 cup granulated white sugar
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease the bottom of a pie pan and set aside.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out 12 cinnamon rolls with a rolling pin until flattened and doubled in size (1 1/2 cans). Evenly place the cinnamon rolls throughout the bottom and sides of the pie pan to form a crust. Pinch together any holes. Bake for 7 minutes and remove from oven and set aside.
- Peel, core, and slice apples into 1/2-inch slices and place in a medium-sized bowl. Add cranberries, sugar, cornstarch, and cinnamon and stir together until the fruit is covered. Pour the filling into the bottom pie crust.
- Roll out the remaining 12 cinnamon rolls and evenly place over the top of the pie to form the top crust. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for approximately 40-50 minutes. Check the underside of the top crust to ensure it is cooked through and not raw. If it is not cooked, cover and continue to bake, checking often until completely cooked through. Then remove the foil and bake an additional 8-10 minutes until the top is golden brown.
- Remove pie from oven and allow to fully cool at least 3 hours. Drizzle with cinnamon roll icing and enjoy!
Notes
Storage:
- Cover and store and leftovers in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Allow the pie to come to room temperature or microwave to warm.
- To freeze, allow the pie to completely cool after baking and then tightly wrap the whole pie or any leftovers in cling wrap and then place in an air-tight container. This will help prevent freezer burn. Freeze for up to 3 months. When ready to enjoy, allow the pie to thaw overnight in the refrigerator before bringing it to room temperature.
- Check the top layer of the cinnamon roll crust to be sure the underside is cooked through before removing the foil. Since oven temperatures may vary, it could take between 40-50 minutes or longer to completely cook through.
- Allow the pie to fully cool before slicing to help the filling firm up.
- Each can of cinnamon rolls comes with a packet of icing. Use as little or as much as desired for the top. The pie in the pictures is covered in one packet.
