FAQs

Q: Can I use homemade cinnamon roll dough?
A: Yes. Use two batches that match the size of the cans and follow the same layer steps.

Q: Can I make this ahead?
A: Yes. Assemble it, cover, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Add a few extra minutes to bake time if cold.

Q: Will the bottom get soggy?
A: The bottom can be soft because of the apple filling. Bake fully and let it rest to help it hold together when you cut it.

Q: Can I use fresh apples instead of canned filling?
A: Yes. Cook sliced apples with sugar and cinnamon until soft, then use as the filling.

Q: How do I make it less sweet?
A: Use one can less icing or skip drizzling all of the icing. You can also choose a low-sugar apple filling.
