upside down cinnamon apple coffee cake

I saw this on a blog and just had to try it!  We've been on a huge cinnamon roll kick at our house lately so I knew we'd definitley all enjoy this!


Upside Down Cinnamon Apple Coffee Cake
Ingredients:
1 can apple pie filling
1/2 t. cinnamon
1 tube cinnamon rolls
2 t. butter, melted
1/3 cup firmly packed brown sugar

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Mix together apple pie filling and 1/2 tsp. cinnamon.  Spread a thin layer of the filling onto the bottom of a well greased, pie pan. Set the remaining filling aside. Separate the cinnamon roll dough and cut each roll into quarters. Place the quartered rolls into a large bowl and add remaining apple pie filling. In a separate bowl, combine melted butter and brown sugar. Mix well and add to the cinnamon roll/apple filling mixture. Toss gently to combine. Spoon the cinnamon roll mixture over the layer of apples in the pie pan. Bake for about 28-32 minutes or until a deep, golden brown. Cool for about 5 minutes and invert onto a serving platter. Microwave frosting for about 10-15 seconds. Drizzle over the warm coffee cake.

I have a few additions of my own to make to the baking directions.  My cinnamon rolls were still gooey after the 32 minutes, but the top was really golden brown.  Next time I will cover with foil and bake for a while and then uncover to finish baking.  Also, I didn't invert mine onto a plate, I just drizzled the icing over the cinnamon rolls still in the pie plate.  It was really yummy and I will definitley make it again!!
