Newsworthy Dessert?

This is actually one of those recipe ideas I picked up from reading in an  online  newspaper, as Google news tacked it to the bottom of the headlines as news “selected  for me”. It called for two ingredients: apple pie filling and cinnamon  rolls.

While I  usually  like to make everything from  scratch,  I also have that darker, lazier side (don’t we all, really?) And as some of these uber-easy recipes go,   they  have  occasionally  turned out to  be  pretty good,  like doing the meatballs with grape jelly and chili sauce. That one is a family favorite.

So I  thought I would test it  out to see how it went.

A Pinterest Win  or a Pinterest  Fail?

And as some of these recipes go (I am  sure we have all come across one) it turns out it would  have been a Pinterest fail- if I had just followed it blindly. Thank  goodness I did not. The recipe I had,  called for much more pie filling (50% more in fact) and a much  larger pan (9×13).

The idea  is to put the bits of cinnamon  roll  in the pan and cover it with the pie filling and bake. But one can  of  rolls isn’t  nearly going to be enough- or maybe she meant two cans? Or maybe she never really made this at all and I was looking at one of those recipes that doesn’t belong to the  photo.

Why Do People Do Those Things?

And yes, those kind of things do actually exist,  and I know  it for a fact after catching people stealing  my  pictures and attaching them to recipes that don’t apply. Or have you ever looked at the pic and can actually see ingredients that don’t belong?

But okay,  I shrunk the pan size to a pie plate and put the topping on  but it looked so boring I decided to add some  of the Millican Pecans  I had been sent for  Fall Flavors and a bit of streusel business.

Down  to Business

I baked for the twenty minutes they asked and (Good Gawd woman, that dough  is raw in the center!) and popped it back into the oven and  baked it out to around an hour (at which point scooting the topping over I could see  the rolls were done). Which makes sense because things like pie and quiche take around that long.

Plus the thing that happens that lets you know something is done- when the kitchen smells incredible.

Is it a Cobbler?  Or  Something Else? You  Tell Me

And basically, if this is not your usual cobbler type,  being somewhat upside down and has tendencies to be  like a dump cake and a monkey bread all at once. But it’s delicious and you’ll like it. I liked it so much,  in fact, that I pushed ahead and switched out the recipe I was going  to make with some of the pecans I was sent so you could get this recipe right away. I hope you like it. And  don’t worry about a Pinterest fail here–it is fixed and all is right with the world.
