Ingredients:

• 1 can Pillsbury refrigerated cinnamon rolls
• 2 cups peeled and sliced apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 1 tablespoon milk
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a mixing bowl, combine sliced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Stir until apples are evenly coated.
3. In a greased pie dish, arrange the cinnamon rolls in a single layer, pressing them together to form a crust.
4. Pour the apple mixture over the cinnamon roll crust, spreading it evenly.
5. Dot the top with small pieces of butter.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the apples are tender and the cinnamon rolls are golden brown.
7. While the pie is baking, prepare the glaze by whisking together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth.
8. Once the pie is done, let it cool slightly before drizzling the glaze over the top. Serve warm.
