How To Make Crock Pot Apple Pie Cinnamon Roll Casserole
To make this yummy crock pot casserole, you’ll take 2 tubes of refrigerated cinnamon rolls and cut each one in quarters. Place half of them in the bottom of a 6-quart crock pot that has been sprayed with cooking spray. Spoon about 3/4 cup of apple pie filling over them.
Add the remaining cinnamon rolls evenly on top.
Whisk together 2 eggs, 1/4 cup of half-and-half, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla, and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Pour the mixture over the cinnamon rolls. Spoon the remaining apple pie filling evenly on top.
Cover and cook on LOW for 2 1/2 to 3 hours. Spread the cinnamon roll icing on top and serve warm.

What readers are saying
Made this tonight for my family and it was devoured faster than it took me to cut the cinnamon rolls. 10/10 recommend trying this dessert even if you’re not a big apple pie fan.
Recipe Tips
- You will want to use at least a 6-quart crock pot. If you use a smaller one, the center will not get cooked.
- Crock pots can vary greatly in how hot they get and how quick (or slow) they cook the food. Get to know your crock pots for best results. Cooking times are estimates.
- If you like a gooey center in your cinnamon rolls, you will love the center of this casserole. If you don’t like them gooey, you will have to cook it longer and you run the risk of the outside burning a little if your crock pot runs hot.
How To Store
Leftovers will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 days and can be reheated in a microwave.

This looks fantastic. Can it be made in the oven, instead? If so what temperature would I use?
I would like to make this for the family of my patient, it would be better if cooked in the oven. Thanks
