Why You Will Love This Recipe
Weekend mornings at my house are defined by the smell of my partner’s diner-style bacon. I love to contribute something sweet to the spread, and this cobbler is my current obsession. It’s born from the desire for maximum flavor with minimal effort, and the magical combination of tart cherries and buttery cinnamon roll dough makes it a celebratory dish that perfectly captures that lazy Saturday feeling.
Ingredients
- Nonstick cooking spray
- 1 (17.5-ounce) can Pillsbury Grands Cinnamon Rolls
- 1 (21-ounce) can cherry pie filling

Step-by-step instructions for making the recipe
- Preheat your oven to 375°F. Spray a 9×13-inch or 10×10-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
- Open the can of cinnamon rolls and set the icing aside. Cut each cinnamon roll into four equal pieces. Use your fingers to gently pull apart the layers of each piece.
- Pour the can of cherry pie filling into a large bowl. Add the separated pieces of cinnamon roll dough and mix gently until the pie filling coats all the dough pieces.
- Pour the cherry and dough mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
- Bake for 12 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare a sheet of aluminum foil large enough to cover the dish and spray one side with nonstick spray.
- After 12 minutes, remove the cobbler from the oven and carefully place the foil over the top, sprayed-side down.
- Return the covered cobbler to the oven and bake for another 18 minutes.
- Remove the cobbler and carefully check for doneness by using a fork to pull apart a piece of the cinnamon roll dough. It should be fluffy and fully cooked inside, not gooey. If needed, bake for an additional 5-10 minutes.
- Place the reserved icing in a microwave-safe bowl and heat for about 10 seconds until it is loose and pourable.
- Drizzle the warmed icing over the hot cobbler. Serve immediately while warm.

Notes
FAQ
Can I use a different pie filling?
Yes, this recipe is very versatile! Apple or blueberry pie filling are excellent substitutes and will work with the exact same method.
Why do I need to cover it with foil?
The foil is essential to prevent the cinnamon roll pieces from burning on top before the inside is fully cooked. The nonstick spray prevents the foil from sticking to the delicious, sticky top.
How should I store leftovers?
Store any leftover cobbler, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat individual portions in the microwave for the best texture.
