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.

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!

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.

Mel got there first in line, ha, so we were only there for 2.5 hours. 🙂
Love the ease of desserts like this, especially when there’s a huge gooey factor involved! You know I love my sauces and frostings 🙂
And Dance Moms, yep. My real life is called Cheer Moms. While it’s not quite as ‘dramatic’ in real life as the reality show’s drama, there are days and certain competitions where yes, it feels as dramatic! There are more mornings that I can tell you waking up in a hotel and getting to work on cheer hair and cheer makeup at 5am on a Saturday. FUN!

I love food writing!!!
I came from Arizona, where Sonorant Desert is located. For four times, I went across the desert to experience the real spirit of martyr, which has shaped my writing into a unique style. Having grown up in a big family with famous chefs for generations ever since my grand grand-father, I was inborn with the mission of keeping the inheritance of traditional food culture. I used to combine culture and history together. Besides getting to know the food cooking skills and the history stories behinds them, I also wanted to study the vicissitudes and protection of traditional culture.
Can you read my food blog? I want to add my food blog in your list!!! I want to let more poeple read my food blog!!!
