Cinnamon Roll-Apple Cobbler

Cook's Notes: This recipe was previously posted on Ever Ready in 2018. It has been updated and quality control has thoroughly retested it. For me it's simply off the charts in taste. Cinnamon and apples are a match made in flavor heaven for this cobbler. It's simple to make using prepared quartered refrigerated cinnamon rolls  nestled among the apple pie like filling. Icing included in the packaging is drizzled on top after baking. You will need a 2 quart baking dish or a 9 x 9 baking dish. Frozen cinnamon rolls thawed can be substituted for 5 large refrigerated cinnamon roll package. Try using two kinds of apples for more flavor. Honeycrsip gives it sweetness and Granny Smith add some tartness. Recipe was adapted slightly from BHG November 2017 and serves 6. Perfect for your holiday week cooking.
