Crockpot Apple Pie Cinnamon Roll Casserole

This Crockpot apple pie cinnamon roll casserole is the ultimate cozy comfort food — part breakfast, part dessert, and 100% delicious. Layers of cinnamon roll pieces and apple pie filling are soaked in a sweet custard and slow-cooked until warm, fluffy, and golden around the edges. It’s finished with a homemade cream cheese icing that melts right over the top for that perfect gooey, bakery-style finish. Whether you’re serving it for Christmas morning, a fall brunch, or just because, this is one of those easy slow cooker recipes everyone will want seconds of.

Ingredients

  • 2 cans refrigerated cinnamon rolls
  • 1 21-ounce can apple pie filling
  • 3 large eggs
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • ¼ cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 4 tablespoons butter softened
  • 4 ounces cream cheese softened
  • ¼ cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  • Lightly grease the inside of a 6-quart slow cooker with butter or nonstick spray so nothing sticks.
  • Pop open the cans of cinnamon rolls and cut each one into quarters. Set aside the icing that comes with them.
  • Spread half of the cinnamon roll pieces in an even layer across the bottom of the slow cooker.
  • Spoon half of the apple pie filling over the rolls, making sure the apples are evenly scattered.
  • Add the remaining cinnamon roll pieces over the top for your second layer.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, brown sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon until smooth and creamy.
  • Pour that custard mixture evenly over the cinnamon rolls and apples, making sure everything is nicely coated.
  • Cover and cook on LOW for about 2½ to 3 hours, or until the center is set. A toothpick or knife inserted in the middle should come out mostly clean (a little gooey is fine — you don’t want it dry). If your slow cooker tends to run hot, start checking around the 2¼-hour mark.
  • Once the casserole is done, make the icing. In a bowl, whisk together the butter and cream cheese until smooth, then whisk in the cream.
  • Stir in the powdered sugar until you have a smooth, pourable icing.
  • Drizzle the icing generously over the casserole while it’s still warm — it’ll melt beautifully into all the nooks and crannies.
  • Serve straight from the slow cooker while it’s warm and gooey. Any leftovers reheat perfectly the next morning (if you even have any!).
