  • 1 teaspoon 1 teaspoon cinnamon (5 g)
  • 1 tablespoon 1 tablespoon cornstarch (8 g)

  3. Add the sugar, cinnamon, and cornstarch to the bowl of apples and stir everything together until well coated.
  4. Open the cans of cinnamon rolls and cut each roll in half. Lightly dust a work surface with flour and roll out each half until thin.
  5. Layer the bottom of the prepared pie dish with the rolled-out cinnamon rolls.
  6. Pour the coated apple mixture evenly over the cinnamon roll crust.

Baking

  2. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes uncovered to achieve a golden-brown color.
  3. Let the pie cool before drizzling the icing from the cinnamon roll cans over the top.
