Did you know you can use cinnamon rolls as the biscuit style cobbler topping on top of fruit? Cinnamon Roll Cobbler is a 2-ingredient recipe using semi-homemade hacks to make the most delicious dessert with ice cream (or breakfast) you’ll ever eat.

A round glass baking dish filled with golden-brown cinnamon rolls topped with white icing, sitting on a red fruit filling. A gold spoon, white bowl, and light blue napkin are nearby on a white surface.

Cinnamon Roll Cobbler uses 2 ingredients and semi-homemade help to make a dessert breakfast mashup using canned cinnamon rolls and your favorite pie filling. Baked in a pie dish or 9×9-inch pan for under 20 minutes, you get the perfect easy recipe served with or without ice cream.

When I realized making cobbler out of cinnamon rolls was a thing I started making this all the time. The best part about it is that it has 2 ingredients and you can use ANY flavors you want, either canned pie filling or homemade. Drizzled with the cinnamon roll icing it’s perfect for breakfast OR dessert!

Two open cans of pie filling and a tube of cinnamon rolls are placed on a white surface. The cans are labeled Any Flavor Pie Filling and the tube is labeled Cinnamon Rolls.

Ingredients in Easy Cobbler

  • Pie Filling is the fruit in this cobbler recipe. You need two (20-ounce) cans of any flavor pie filling, or make your own! I have recipes for cherry pie filling, blueberry pie filling, and apple pie filling from scratch.
  • Cinnamon Rolls in a can! I usually use Pillsbury (regular can that comes with 8 rolls) but any brand works. The cinnamon rolls bake on top the pie filling like cobbler would on top of fruit.

Dorothy’s Expert Cobbler Tips

  • Want some fresh fruit in there? Use one can of pie filling and about 2 cups of fresh or thawed frozen fruit (or canned).
  • This is like a dump cake with cinnamon rolls instead!
  • You know Cinnamon roll cobbler is done baking when the cinnamon rolls are golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
  • Serve warm with ice cream! Or drizzle the icing all over the top.

  3. Yum! Just a thought, I have used cherry pie filling and pineapple tidbits (drained) to make my regular cobbler and it’s SO good! I’m going to try it with this soon!

  5. This is so delicious. I made this dessert up Sunday of which I got the recipe off my Pillsbury calendar . Only difference, canned pears where added.
    Think next time I will make using apple pie filling. I’m sure a person could even use mixed fruit cocktail or your favorite pie filling
