What’s in 2 Ingredient Cinnamon Roll Apple Cobbler?
- Refrigerated cinnamon roll dough: You’ll need two cans, each 12.4 oz. I usually go with Pillsbury because they’re easy to find and bake up perfectly fluffy.
- Apple pie filling: Four cups of this heavenly goodness can be store-bought or homemade. If you’re feeling adventurous, a homemade apple filling can steal the spotlight!
- Cream cheese icing: This is usually included with the cinnamon rolls. The tangy sweetness of the cream cheese icing is to die for when drizzled over the warm cobbler.
- Vanilla ice cream: For serving, because what’s a warm dessert without a scoop of creamy goodness to melt over it?
Is 2 Ingredient Cinnamon Roll Apple Cobbler Good for You?
Now, let’s be real—this dish is more about pleasure than health! With the sugary cinnamon roll dough and sweet apple pie filling, it hits the sinfully delicious mark. However, there is a bit of fruit involved, thanks to the apples that come packed in the filling. If you’re feeling a tad guilty, serve it with a light salad before diving into this cobbler!
On a positive note, it can be a fun dessert to share with loved ones—after all, food is about bringing joy, isn’t it? Just don’t make this your everyday indulgence unless you want to join me on a deliciously decadent couch potato train! 😄

How to Make 2 Ingredient Cinnamon Roll Apple Cobbler?
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare the Baking Dish: Lightly grease a rustic white baking dish (approximately 9×13 inches) with non-stick spray or butter.
- Spread Apple Filling: Pour the apple pie filling evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
- Add Cinnamon Rolls: Open the cans of cinnamon roll dough and separate the rolls. Cut each roll into quarters and scatter them on top of the apple filling, spreading them out evenly.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cinnamon rolls are golden brown and fully cooked through.
- Add Icing: Remove the cobbler from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Drizzle the cream cheese icing over the warm cinnamon rolls.
- Serve with Ice Cream: Scoop servings of the cobbler into bowls and add a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side, allowing it to melt slightly.
Sweet Secrets for the Best Cobbler
