There are few desserts easier than ones made in a 9×13 pan. But what if we told you that this apple crisp gets even simpler with the use of canned cinnamon rolls? Just flatten out the cinnamon rolls and place them in the baking dish, then top with apples, cinnamon sugar, and the oat mixture. Finish it off with a drizzle of cinnamon roll icing and you'll be in apple-cinnamon heaven.
