Baked Apple Pie Roll Ups are super simple to put together with just a few ingredients you likely already have on hand. I love that these are oven baked and not fried and take just minutes to make!
While I used apple pie filling, you can fill them with whatever you’d like including cream cheese & sugar or cherry pie filling.
If you’re in a hurry you can certainly use canned apple pie filling but if you’ve got a few minutes you can quickly make your own! I’ve added my own homemade apple pie filling recipe to the site! This easy recipe is made on the stove top and makes the equivalent of one store bought can of pie filling!
My daughter loves these and we make them often because they’re so quick and easy.
When placing your roll ups on your pan, be sure the have the seam side down. Once they come out of the oven if you notice the shape is a little bit flat, you can just give them a gentle squeeze while they’re warm and they will hold their shape as they cool. We serve these as is or with ice cream and caramel.
Ingredients
- 10 slices white bread
- 1 can apple pie filling or homemade pie filling
- ⅓ cup melted butter
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Cut the crusts off your bread and roll each slice flat with a rolling pin. Combine cinnamon and sugar on a small plate.
- Pour the apple pie filling onto a plate and chop it so the pieces are smaller. Place 2 tablespoons apple pie filling on each slice of bread and roll up.
- Dip each roll into melted butter (I poured a tiny bit of butter into a “butter dish” and just rolled in there) and then roll in the cinnamon sugar.
- Place seam side down on a parchment lined pan and bake 15 minutes or until browned and crispy. Serve warm.

Been doing this for years with ready made pie crusts like Pillsbury. The kind you buy in the box. I like it better than the bread slices. And, you can make them longer and fork the edges. Cherry, blueberry, and peach works just as well.
With the ready made pie crust, how long did you cook them? Also, what size did you cut the dough for each one?
I want to make these with pie dough for Sunday School this coming week.
why are so many people changing this recipe? first it’s a multi entry discussion on caramel, now everyone is chiming in about how to change this recipe! why not try it the way she wrote and leave a nice comment?
yummmmy cant wait to make these with my kids they love apple pie and these will be so easy to make.
baked apple pie rools ups… hw to make apple fillings if readily is not available?
cut about 6-10 apples into chunks sprinkle about a 1- 1& 1/2 cups of sugar and about 1 tblsp of cinnamon over apple chunks and stir untill each chunk is coated with sugar and cinnamon for a yummy homeade apple pie filling
why couldn’t you just use pie dough? although the crescent rolls would work too… I just can’t see the bread working that well
It works beautifully and gets nice and crispy on the outside. I’m sure pie dough would work too. The bread holds it’s shape nicely and you would never know it’s bread. :)
Was just wondering if premade pie crust would work? Not a bread eater but have pie crust leftover from the holidays.
I think it would work and would be similar to my Apple Pie Cookies, just a different shape!
What do you think about using pie crust or puff pastry then deep fry?
I think they’re delicious that way too! I have a recipe very similar (Apple Pie Egg Rolls) that is deep fried! Those were delicious too but some readers were looking for a baked version. I wasn’t satisfied with the way the egg roll wrappers baked up so I used the bread instead for the baked version.
These look wonderful. Can not wait to try. I am a diabetic so I can also use no sugar added apple pie filling.
Has anyone tried making these ahead and freezing? If so, how did they do?
I have frozen them , in fact I did a whole loaf and froze both cookie sheets full and took one out for a church brunch and cooked and they are great , will cook rest Christmas morning. !
Awesome! Thanks for sharing Peggy!
For those who make in advance and freeze for later, can you please clarify if you freeze before you bake them or after? And if after, how do you reheat? thanks!
I know I’m coming in really late on this conversation but would love clarity on the freezing as well. I plan on making a good many of these because they are freezable so knowing what I’m doing, without having to waste any because I got it wrong would be really awesome. Thanks!
Do u freeze them already cooked or not cooked
YES YOU CAN FREEZE THEM IN LAYERS AND TAKE OUT WHAT YO WANT. I HAVE EVEN FRIED THEM IN CAST IRON AND USE ANY FILLING YOU LIKE. ALSO YOU CAN USE BISCUITS TO MAKE THESE AND THEY ARE ALSO GOOD THAT WAY. I JUST COOKED SOME APPLES DOWN AND THICKENED WAS GOING TO MAKE A PIE BUT I HAVE WHEAT BREAD AND THATS WHAT IM GOING TO USE. GIVE IT A TRY AND ENJOY.
Alicia, try WonTon wrappers. My daughter has made these with them but she did deep fry them. Not sure how they will taste baked.
I have baked these in wonton wrappers and they came out fantastic!
I did the wonton wrappers , fried they were to die for and bet they would be good baked too just pour butter over them I add walnuts to mine with a little cinnamon inside. I am making tomorrow can’t wait .
Sound wonderful
I think these sound good also that they are economical and that most people have the ingredients on hand.
Alicia – a little off topic, but like you I love most anything cinnamon. Have you tried the Taco Bell Cinnabon Delights? Habit forming and oh so good.
Use kitchen shears, Tom
The “cut up the Apple Pie filling” step is the only thing that keeps this from being simple enough for the kids to make, so I’m wondering what the same thing might be like using Pumpkin Pie filling (or even PB&J)?
sounds good
use scissors! i have utility scissors in my kitchen for so many things…
just stick the scissors in the can and start to slice. kids could do that!
Leave it in the opened can and run a knife through it then let the kids continue.
Or you could also use kitchen shears in the can to cut the apples. I saw this hint for an easy way to cut whole tomatoes in the can.
I was thinking about the apple pie filling too, what about putting it in a mini choppers for a second. It would make the apples smaller and easier to put on the bread or whatever. Just a thought anyway.:)
Fantastic idea! Quick, easy and perfect for this recipe!
Made these just before supper. While we ate, I popped them in the oven. So when supper was cleared up these were just warm enough to slightly melt the french vanilla ice cream drizzled with caramel syrup! Needless to say I was a HIT!!!! Even impressed the in-laws! SCORE!
sounds really good with the ice cream and caramel syrup
Now we’re talkin!.
It would seem tortillas would be kind of chewy. We been getting some white bread from Costco that seems a bit under cooked to us, that I think would work perfectly for this recipe.
The combo of butter, bread, brown sugar and cinnamon has got to be good. It would seem whipped cream woujld be good once they cool I’m thinking.
I have made these before but I used flour tortillas. No waste.
There doesn’t have to be a waste. Make crusts into bread crumbs for meatloaf, use for stuffing, or toss outside for the birds in the cold weather. Either way these are made are great. I’ve also used Peach, Apricot & Cherry pie filling bc I’m not the biggest apple pie fan. All are wonderful!!
Great idea!!
I too am not a fan of Apple Pie filling but I have made these using my own Apple Pie filling recipe. For me the bread is the best for the rollups, I have also added cream cheese to a recipe and it too is delicious.
Would you please share your apple pie filling recipe ? I would greatly appreciate it !! Thank you !! Will you please send it to my e mail address I provided?
wouldn’t it take longer to cook if we used an apple pie recipe?.
you could probably soften the apples in microwave,to cut down on time
i bet u could use crescent rolls dough or even pie crust that are the roll out kind u buy in refrigerated isle
I wonder what it would taste like with wheat bread. We don’t eat a lot of bread but when we do, it is wheat. If anyone tries this, I would be curious to hear what you think.
Yes! I’ve tried it with white and wheat and both are tasty!
I used whole wheat bread, they were delicious!
I tried it with tortillas, but I didn’t care for them and neither did my husband. Would love to know if anyone else tries them. I love cinnamon anything usually!
Thanks for letting us know!
use brown bread!!!
BTW, when I used tortillas, I fried them. High temp and fast.
Couldn’t you do the same thing with thin small flour tortillas? We don’t buy white bread and I think the tortillas would be just as easy and get the same effect.
I haven’t tried it but sounds like a great idea! If you do try, I’d love to hear how it works out!
I just finished baking these and they are SO good.
Perfectttttttt they were soooo yummy and crispy .
The small thin flour tortillas work great!!
Flour tortillas, what a great idea!
Good because I bought some by mistake and they are in my fridge, was wondering what I could do with them
I made them today, fast, easy, inexpensive and so good.
That’s a great idea instead of bread.
Thanks
I made this with flour tortillas and they were wonderful…..I put them in a glass baking dish and aked them together and about 15 minutes before they were done I made a carmel sauce and poured over them and finish baking….they were gone before anyone could get seconds….please try them they are to die for
I’ve made a simple Carmel recipe and it’s good! Take a can of sweet condensed milk eagle brand put the can unopened in a small crockpot cover with water on low for 6 to 8 hours!! That’s the best way to make Carmel no mess!!
Caramel out of sweetened condensed milk? Never heard of it. I don’t understand how it could taste like carmel. In light me!lol!
It totally works – I’ve been doing this for years. I’ve only used eagle brand. Pour it on a pound cake for the best caramel cake you’ll ever have.
eagle brand or generic sweetened condensed milk are high in sugar… boiling the can causes the sugars in it to caramelize…
Its wonderful! In Puerto Rico we call it Dulce de Leche
Actually it doesn’t really taste like caramel sauce. IMHO it tastes a bit odd. I did the boil in the can thing and didn’t like it at all. A bit chalky tasting. Maybe it would do in a pinch if one was too lazy to make a proper caramel sauce, but then there is no accounting for taste, especially other people’s.
YES it does carmelize beautifully and I have done it many times. Just like DULCE DE LECHE. I HAVE BOUGHT THE DDL AND SAME AS BOILING IT. ITS AWESOMEEEEEEEE
I have done this for years when making Easter or holiday candies. It tastes exactly like bagged carmels! I do a few cans at a time.
I have also been doing this for years and it is the best caramel you will ever eat….hands down. You do need to be careful and totally wait until the can cools before opening it. If you think about it, condensed milk is milk and sugar….perfect combo for caramel. Enjoy.
I made caramel out of the condensed milk by placing the can in a pan covered with water and kept it boiling for 4 hours and it was the best caramel I have ever tasted! I think I will try it with the crock pot since that sounds a lot easier. Try it and then enjoy your luscious, creamy fantastic caramel.
My mother used to make caramel that way. Thanks for reminding me.
they call this dulce de leche, its not exactly a true caramel, but a decent subsitutuon
Before one could buy tins of caramel (I’m talking the 1950’s), our moms used to boil a can of condensed milk for 4 hours. I thought it was magic that one could open a can and have this lovely stuff ready to eat; put in a pie shell with slices of banana and whipped cream, it was a lovely treat.
First it’s enlighten me ;-) lol , second, the sugars & milk cook down making a velvety caramel sauce. Not so much like caramel u would put on an apple on a stick, more like something u would pour over ice cream or use as a cake filling. Is very good! Don’t even have to open the can until it’s cooked! ;-) Easy caramel sauce. Condensed milk is a wonderful thing!
You can pretty much use any kind of sweetend condensed milk. Just make sure you take the labels off and cover the can with completely with water. You can also put a dish cloth in the bottom of the crock and set the cans on top so that the metal doesnt leave a ring on the bottom of the crock. tastes a lot like the ice cream caramel topping that you can buy at the store.
I’m guessing JJ used evaporated milk instead of sweetened condensed milk. The connection between SCM and caramel is quite obvious.
It’s soooooo good!!! Best thing ever! Put the can in a pot of boiling water for 2 hours … making sure it’s totally submerged.. then let it cool and open
This is fantastic caramel. Just make sure it is cold when you open the can as it is boiling hot and may explode.
I’ve been doing this for years to primarily make caramel pies. It is a very rich caramel.
This really does work. But 30 yrs ago, I would put unopened can in pressure cooker. Water covering 1/2 of can, pressure at 10 lbs. for 1 hour. Cool then open can like cranberry sauce. Then slice into rings. Use for dessert. Or can spoon out. It is the yummiest caramel ever. Because of the zip top opening, I don’t believe I would use pressure cooker. I will use boiling in pan for 4 hrs.
My husband makes this all the time. He just eats it right out of the can. Put it in the freezer after you cook it. Just make sure that there is always water in the pot to cover can, because it will explode.
Just try it! It work! Best Caramel auce you have ever had.
Eagle brand has pop top cabs now….they could explode. Get cheapo brands, anything without pop top. And yez….The best caramel out there. I’ve made it this way for over 37 yrs.

Why not try cinnamon raison bread slices—lot more flavor!!
Um that sounds good. I’m going to try it with the raisin bread.
That’s what I just did. No raisins though. cinnamon swirl bread
I am sure you can try it with a tortilla. This is actually an old time recipe. I have it from my dear aunt who passed away 32 years ago. You can also use different fillings. The bread was used instead of having to make a dough.
I want to try you recipe, have one question. can I use my own recipe for the apple in Lou of can apple.
Absolutely! That would be delicious!
Thank you for responding to my question. Will make it today, let you know how they turned out
:) Sounds great Wendy!!
I make something similar using tortillas all the time! Super easy ~ I make my own apple pie filling, put a Tbsp. or so in middle of small tortilla, and fold up envelope-style. I put them on my stoneware baking sheet, spread the tops with some melted butter and sprinkle cinnamon-sugar on top. Bake at 350 for 20 min. or so. Delicious!
That sounds wonderful Barbara!
Mine have now been in the oven for almost 40 minutes yet they are not browning or getting crunchy… whats wrong?
Did you dip them in butter? Is your oven at 350? While they might not appear to be browned, the sugar will create a slightly crispy crust and should be ready in about 15 minutes.
I used to buy a tortilla rolled around apple pie filling from Schwans home delivery. they were basically the same thing except deep fried.
You can use tortillas… we in Texas do it all the time, roll them up in a pan like enchiladas and bake…. YUMMY!
wanton wrappers would probably work
I don’t buy bread, and only make wheat bread. Your idea of flour tortillas is a great one. I think I’ll try it with small flour tortillas.
I think whole wheat bread would give a nutty flavor to the recipe. It does in pie crust. You could also use whole wheat tortillas.
I have made these for years with flour tortillas and they are great!
Tortillas work great. Taco Bell’s Cinnamon Crispas are just fried tortillas dipped in cinnamon sugar.
I have made these with the tortillas…works great
