Upside Down Cinnamon Apple Coffee Cake

I made this little dessert the other night for the missionaries. I thought I should share it for my Canadian/Utah family and friends who might need a yummy warm recipe to keep warm. It's DELICIOUS!

Ingredients:

1 can apple pie filling

1/2 tsp. cinnamon

1 tube Pillsbury Grand! Cinnabon Cinnamon Rolls {with regular or cream cheese frosting…I used regular}

2 tbsp. butter, melted

1/3 cup firmly packed brown sugar

Mix together apple pie filling and 1/2 tsp. cinnamon. Spread a thin layer of the filling onto the bottom of a well greased, 9-in. pie pan. Set the remaining filling aside.

Now, separate the cinnamon roll dough into 8 rolls {my tube only had 5 rolls, so I cut it into 8 rolls}.

Cut each roll into quarters.

Place the quartered rolls into a large bowl and add remaining apple pie filling. In a separate bowl, combine melted butter and brown sugar. Mix well and add to the cinnamon roll/apple filling mixture. Toss gently to combine.

Now spoon the cinnamon roll mixture over the layer of apples in the pie pan.

Now remove the lid from the frosting container and microwave for about 10-15 seconds or

until it’s a drizzling consistency. Then drizzle over the warm coffee cake…

I got this recipe here. Enjoy!

PS. We turned our heat on yesterday Nov 28th for the first time. Brrr!
