From there, take Pillsbury cinnamon roll dough and cut into tiny pieces. Mix the dough in with the cream cheese, powdered sugar and apples.

This dish has all of the flavor of apple pie, but isn’t nearly as traditional. In fact, this dessert could even be served as a sweet breakfast or brunch option.

No matter when you serve it, there will be no objections!

You can also enjoy your pie in pull-apart form and use biscuit dough to create an apple pie-flavored monkey bread.
