How to Store Cinnamon Roll Apple Pie Bake

To store any leftovers, allow the bake to cool completely and then cover it tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil. You can keep it in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. For longer storage, consider freezing portions. Place them in an airtight container or freezer bag and store for up to 3 months. When ready to eat, simply reheat in the oven or microwave until warmed through.

Tips to Make Cinnamon Roll Apple Pie Bake

For added flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg to the apple pie filling before mixing it with the cinnamon rolls.
To enhance the richness, you could stir in some chopped pecans or walnuts for a delightful crunch.
If you prefer a gooier texture, try using homemade apple pie filling instead of canned.
Keep an eye on the baking time, as ovens may vary. Aim for a golden top and a fully cooked center to ensure the best results.

Variation

To switch things up, consider using different flavored filling combinations. Try swapping the apple pie filling for cherry or peach filling for a new twist. You can also experiment by adding caramel sauce over the top instead of icing for a deliciously sweet finish.
