Preparation

  2. Open the tubes of cinnamon rolls without separating them. Reserve the glaze.
  3. Slice the rolls into 1/4-inch-thick pieces.
  4. On a floured piece of parchment paper, place one round in the center and arrange 6 to 8 slices around it to create a circular design.
  5. Cut 3 to 4 more rolls in half to fill in gaps and roll into an 11-inch round.
  6. Invert the cinnamon roll crust into a 9-inch pie plate.
  7. Repeat with remaining dough for the top crust, creating a 10-inch round.
Filling Assembly
  1. Toss sliced apples with sugar, apple pie spice, and a little flour.
  2. Spoon the apple mixture into the bottom crust and dot with butter.
  3. Carefully place the second cinnamon roll crust over the apples and seal the edges.
  4. Cover the edges with foil to prevent burning.
Baking
  1. Bake for 45 minutes, then remove the top foil and bake for an additional 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown.
  2. Let cool for 10 minutes and spread reserved glaze on top.
  3. Allow pie to cool for at least 1 hour before serving.

Notes

You can prepare the apple filling ahead of time. For juicy apples, consider lightly pre-cooking to reduce moisture. Add cranberries or walnuts for an interesting twist.
