How in the world can you resist a dessert that’s called a Bubble-Up and Bake? Why did it take so long for this scrumptious idea to catch my attention? You take a tube of cinnamon rolls. You chop up some apples and toss them into a skillet. You mix together some cream cheese, powdered sugar and milk and whoa! You end up with a casserole dish of delight. It all started with me having a little extra time and a leftover tube of Pillsbury refrigerated cinnamon rolls. What magic could I possible conjure up? Apple Cinnamon Bubble-Up Bake, that’s what. It’s so tasty and simple you’ll wonder why it’s not one of your favorite go-to desserts. If you like peaches more than apples, go for it! I’ll bet you can even substitute cherry pie filling for the apples. Speaking of pie filling, I’ve included a recipe for 2-Ingredient Pie Cups using any of your favorite varieties of store bought pie filling. Now go bake and bubble up with joy!

- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9X13-inch baking dish. In a skillet, melt butter. Add apples. Cook until softened and beginning to brown. Remove from heat. In a large microwavable bowl, heat cream cheese and powdered sugar uncovered for 1 minute, stirring every 30 seconds, until softened. Stir until smooth. Stir in milk. Then stir in apple mixture. Separate cinnamon roll dough into slices. Cut each roll into 4-6 pieces. Gently stir pieces into apple mixture. Pour into greased baking dish. Bake about 30 minutes or until bubbling around edges and dough is golden brown baked through. Let cool for 10 minutes. Spoon icing into a microwave bowl and heat for about 6 seconds or until mixture is thin enough to drizzle. More icing makes it better!
- Combine one cup of powdered sugar and several tablespoons of water or more if needed to achieve consistency thin enough to drizzle over mixture. Serve warm.
