  6. Sprinkle the remaining tablespoon of brown sugar over this layer.
  7. Spread the rest of the apple pie filling evenly over the top.
  8. Sprinkle the last tablespoon of brown sugar and the remaining ground cinnamon on top.
Baking
  1. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, monitoring until pie filling is bubbling and edges are golden brown.
  2. Remove from oven and slightly warm the icing that came with the cinnamon rolls, then drizzle over the baked dish.
Serving
  1. Serve warm directly from the dish, optionally topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Notes

Add a pinch of nutmeg or vanilla extract to the apple filling for extra flavor. You can also mix in chopped nuts or swap the apple filling for other fruit fillings.
