Featuring cinnamon rolls combined with eggs, evaporated milk, and your choice of apple or blueberry pie filling, this casserole offers a sweet and custardy breakfast treat that’s perfect for family gatherings or weekend brunch.

Ingredients

Scale

Cinnamon Roll Base

  • 2 cans cinnamon rolls (refrigerated, regular size, not Grands)

Egg Mixture

  • 3 eggs
  • 1/2 cup evaporated milk (or half and half)

Filling and Topping

  • 1 can (21 oz) pie filling (apple or blueberry)
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon and sugar mix (for sprinkling on top if using apple pie filling)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Egg Mixture: Whisk together the 3 eggs and 1/2 cup of evaporated milk (or half and half) in a bowl until fully combined. Set aside.
  2. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Spray a 13×9-inch baking pan with non-stick cooking spray and preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  3. Cut Cinnamon Rolls: Open the cinnamon roll cans and cut each roll into 6 pieces, creating smaller bite-sized pieces. Place all pieces into a large mixing bowl.
  4. Add Pie Filling: Pour the entire can of pie filling (apple or blueberry) into the bowl with the cinnamon roll pieces. Gently fold the mixture to combine evenly without breaking the rolls too much.
  5. Assemble in Pan: Spread the cinnamon roll and pie filling mixture evenly in the prepared baking pan.
  6. Add Egg Mixture and Topping: Pour the whisked egg and milk mixture evenly over the casserole in the pan. If using apple pie filling, sprinkle the cinnamon and sugar mix evenly on top.
  7. Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake at 375°F for 30-33 minutes. Bake until the top of the rolls are golden brown and the egg mixture is set and no longer runny.
  8. Rest and Serve: Allow the casserole to rest in the pan for 5-10 minutes. Cut into squares, add the frosting from the cinnamon roll package squeezed over each piece, and serve warm.

Notes

  • You can swap evaporated milk for half and half or whole milk for a richer custard.
  • Try different pie fillings like cherry or peach for variety.
  • The frosting packet from the cinnamon rolls adds an extra sweet finishing touch.
  • Letting the casserole rest after baking helps with cleaner slices.
  • Use a non-stick spray to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
