What a yummy treat! We want to show you a new recipe that we created – for Semi-Homemade Dutch Apple Cinnamon Rolls. It’s really not much of a recipe as the main ingredient – the cinnamon roll – is the already prepared version, making this a fast a slick recipe.
We rarely have cinnamon rolls, but when we do, we like to make some fun of it and come up with new ways to enjoy them. I love dutch apple pie. So we thought, “let’s try to make a pie-like cinnamon roll for the holidays” and the results were delicious!
And although we gave this a whirl during our holiday season, it’s perfect for any season.
You can also apply this to completely home-made cinnamon rolls. And you can make your homemade cinnamon rolls gluten-free by using the BEST ever gluten-free flour mix. This process will be truly homemade, but not disappointing either!
Well, here’s the recipe for the shortened, kitchen hack recipe for Semi-Homemade Dutch Apple Cinnamon Rolls.
Ingredients needed for Semi-Homemade Dutch Apple Cinnamon Rolls:
- 1 package of Pillsbury Grands Cinnabon Cinnamon Rolls
- 1 cup (about half of a can) apple pie filling
- 1 TBSP flour
- 2 TBSP brown sugar
- 1/2 cup of oats
- 4 TBSP butter
- Dash of cinnamon
- Whipped Cream and Caramel for the topping
How to make Semi-Homemade Dutch Apple Cinnamon Rolls:
- Open the cinnamon rolls and place them an inch or so apart on a pie pan.
- Once they are in place, use a spoon to flatten the middle to make a well in the center.
- Add a scoop of apple pie filling to each cinnamon roll.
- In a separate bowl, combine the oats, brown sugar, flour and cinnamon. Blend well.
- Add the butter to the dry mixture and mix again.
- Scoop the dutch filling onto the cinnamon rolls evenly.
- Bake in the oven at 375 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
- Once baked, serve warm and add whipped cream and caramel on top!
- Enjoy!

This cinnamon roll recipe is rich, tasty, delicious and more like a dessert! But I might just allow it for a Christmas morning treat. 🙂
Sometime, I am also going to try this from scratch, but I wanted to share the easy version for us busy moms! If you try a “from scratch” version, leave a comment and let me know how it turned out!

Sounds yummy! I need to make this. I think when I open the can of apple pie filling, I’ll run a butter knife through it several times to cut the apples into smaller pieces. Maybe add a sprinkle of fresh grated nutmeg too.
