How To Make Cracker Barrel Cinnamon Roll Pie

To make Cracker Barrel Cinnamon Roll Pie, follow these simple steps

Cracker Barrel Cinnamon Roll Pie (4)

Pre-grease a round oven-safe pie pan to prevent sticking. Place one can of cinnamon rolls in the pie pan and pinch the seams together to form a solid base.

Pour a can of apple pie filling over the cinnamon rolls and spread it evenly across the surface.

On a flat surface, lay out the other can of cinnamon rolls and flatten them using a rolling pin or your fingers, then pinch the seams together. Cut the flattened cinnamon rolls into 6 even strips and arrange them on top of the apple pie filling in the pie pan.

Air fry at 325 degrees F (162°C) for 15-18 minutes, or until the cinnamon rolls are cooked through and golden brown. Once done, pour the icing from the cinnamon rolls over the top of the pie.

Recipe Variations

  • Fruit Variation: Instead of apple pie filling, try using other fruit fillings such as cherry, blueberry, or peach for a fruity twist on the classic pie.
  • Nutty Crunch: Add a crunchy texture by sprinkling chopped nuts, such as pecans or walnuts, on top of the pie filling before adding the cinnamon roll strips.
  • Cream Cheese Swirl: For a rich and creamy addition, swirl softened cream cheese into the apple pie filling before layering the cinnamon roll strips on top.
  • Spiced Glaze: Enhance the flavor of the icing by adding a pinch of ground cinnamon or nutmeg for a spiced glaze that complements the cinnamon roll pie perfectly.
  • Chocolate Drizzle: For chocolate lovers, drizzle melted chocolate or chocolate syrup over the finished pie for an indulgent treat that pairs well with the cinnamon flavor.
  • Streusel Topping: Create a streusel topping by mixing together flour, brown sugar, butter, and cinnamon, and sprinkling it over the cinnamon roll strips before baking for added texture and flavor.
  • Frosting Varieties: Experiment with different frosting flavors such as maple, caramel, or cream cheese to customize the pie to your taste preferences.
  • Seasonal Flavors: Incorporate seasonal flavors like pumpkin pie spice or gingerbread spice into the pie filling or icing for a festive twist that’s perfect for the holidays.

Pro Tips Cinnamon Roll Pie

  • Prep the Pan: Before assembling the pie, pre-grease the pie pan generously to ensure easy removal of the pie after baking.
  • Seal the Seams: Pinch the seams of the cinnamon roll dough together firmly to prevent any filling from leaking out during baking.
  • Even Filling Distribution: Spread the apple pie filling evenly over the bottom layer of cinnamon rolls to ensure every bite is filled with delicious fruit flavor.
  • Proper Cutting: When cutting the flattened cinnamon roll dough into strips, use a sharp knife or pizza cutter for clean and even cuts.
  • Air Fryer Temperature: Keep an eye on the temperature of your air fryer to ensure it stays consistent throughout the cooking process, as this will help the pie bake evenly.
  • Check for Doneness: Test the doneness of the pie by inserting a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the pie is ready to be removed from the air fryer.
  • Allow to Cool: Let the pie cool slightly before drizzling with icing to prevent the icing from melting too much and becoming runny.
  • Serve Warm: For the best flavor and texture, serve the Cracker Barrel Cinnamon Roll Pie warm, straight from the air fryer, and enjoy it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat.

Faq’s Cracker Barrel Breakfast Cinnamon Roll Pie

Can I use homemade cinnamon roll dough instead of canned? Yes, you can use homemade cinnamon roll dough if you prefer. Just ensure that the dough is rolled out thinly and adjust the baking time as needed.

How should I store leftovers? Leftover Cracker Barrel Cinnamon Roll Pie can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. Reheat slices in the microwave or air fryer before serving.

Can I freeze the pie? While it’s best enjoyed fresh, you can freeze Cracker Barrel Cinnamon Roll Pie for up to 1 month. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil before freezing. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.

Can I make this recipe without an air fryer? Yes, you can bake Cracker Barrel Cinnamon Roll Pie in a conventional oven. Follow the same assembly instructions and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cinnamon rolls are cooked through.

Can I add additional toppings or fillings? Absolutely! Feel free to get creative and add your favorite toppings or fillings such as chopped nuts, raisins, or chocolate chips for extra flavor and texture.

How do I prevent the crust from burning? Keep an eye on the pie while it’s baking or air frying and cover the edges with foil if they start to brown too quickly. This will help prevent the crust from burning while allowing the filling to cook through.

Can I make this pie ahead of time? Yes, you can assemble the pie ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator until ready to bake. Allow it to come to room temperature before baking or adjust the baking time accordingly if baking from cold.

Cracker Barrel cinnamon roll pie heating instructions: To reheat Cracker Barrel Cinnamon Roll Pie, place individual slices in the microwave and heat on high for 20-30 seconds until warm. Alternatively, reheat slices in an air fryer at 325°F (162°C) for 2-3 minutes until heated through.
