Ingredients:
Crumb Topping
- 1 cup all-purpose flour

- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

- Heat oven to 375°F. In medium bowl, mix Crumb Topping ingredients with fork until large clumps form. Refrigerate. Spoon icing from can of rolls into small microwavable bowl; cover and refrigerate.
- Lightly flour rolling pin and work surface or cutting board. Separate dough into 8 rolls. With rolling pin, roll each cinnamon roll, cinnamon side up, into 4- to 5-inch round.
- In ungreased 9-inch glass pie plate, place 1 dough round in center. Arrange remaining 7 dough rounds around center round and up side of plate, overlapping slightly as necessary. With fingers, press dough to seal together in bottom and up side of pie plate to form crust. Flute edge.

- Before serving, microwave icing on High 10 to 15 seconds or until runny enough to drizzle. Drizzle back and forth over top of pie.
I made this tonight and I have to say I wasn’t totally thrilled. I thought it was going to be much better than it was. The filling and the topping were good but the cinnamon roll crust was just too much. I think the apples stand out better and have a stronger flavor with a regular pie crust
