This cinnamon roll apple bake starts with a layer of chopped apples, then adds cinnamon roll pieces mixed with more apples, raisins, and a quick brown sugar butter sauce. It bakes into a sticky, golden topping that flips out over the apples and gets finished with warm icing. Simple steps, quick prep, and plenty of cinnamon apple flavor.

Directions
Step 1: Spread 1 cup of the apples evenly in the bottom of a prepared pie dish.
Step 2: Separate the cinnamon rolls and cut each one into quarters. Add the pieces to a large bowl with the remaining apples and the raisins.
Step 3: In a small bowl, stir together the butter, brown sugar and corn syrup. Pour this mixture over the cinnamon roll mixture and toss to coat. Spoon everything evenly over the apples in the pie dish.
Step 4: Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until the top is deep golden brown. Let it cool for 5 minutes, then flip it onto a serving plate.
Step 5: Warm the icing from the tube and drizzle it over the top. Serve right away while it’s still warm.
