Ingredients

  • 2 cans of reduced-fat cinnamon rolls (quarter each roll): Opting for reduced-fat cinnamon rolls helps to cut down on calories and fat. The cinnamon rolls provide a familiar, comforting base for the dish.

  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional): Nuts add a delightful crunch and a touch of richness. Choose walnuts or pecans based on preference. For a lighter option, consider reducing the quantity or using just a sprinkle.

  • Non-stick cooking spray: To prevent sticking and ensure easy removal, lightly spray the baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Properly preheating ensures that your bake cooks evenly and achieves the desired texture.

  2. Prepare the Baking Dish:
    Lightly spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. This helps to prevent the cinnamon rolls and apple pie filling from sticking to the dish, making cleanup easier and ensuring your bake comes out perfectly.

  3. Quarter the Cinnamon Rolls:
    Open the cans of reduced-fat cinnamon rolls and carefully quarter each roll. This means cutting each roll into four smaller pieces. Quartering the rolls helps them to cook more evenly and distribute throughout the dish.

  4. Mix the Ingredients:
