Recipe Notes & Tips

  1. Some people like to add extras to this casserole. You can do the same with ingredients like raisins, dried cranberries, or even mini chocolate chip morsels. Get as creative as youโ€™d like.
  1. You can always use flaky biscuits to prepare this casserole. If you already have the biscuits at home, feel free to use them instead of getting the cinnamon rolls.
  2. If youโ€™re not a fan of apples, itโ€™s not a big deal. You can swap out the apple pie filling for other options, such as strawberry, cherry, or even blueberry pie filling, all of which will taste great.

Frequently Asked Questions

What brand of cinnamon rolls will I need?

You can use any brand of cinnamon rolls that you prefer. Pilsbury is a great option, but there are plenty of other brands, including generic options that taste just as good. If you have an Aldi nearby, you can get your cinnamon rolls there.

    YAY! Eat breakfast casserole that does not include a bunch of eggs is amazing to me. I absolutely hate eggs unless theyโ€™re actually cooked into the batter. In any form where I can tell that thereโ€™s eggs eggs in something makes me sick. Also, this was actually really great. How could you not love apple pie filling, along with cinnamon rolls, along with pecans itโ€™s a match made in heaven.
