Apple Pecan Pie Roll {Guest Post}
ShareApple Pie just got easier! Using a pre-made pie crust, just fill it with your delicious ingredients and roll up like a log. Cut into as many or as few slices as you like. The vanilla glaze puts it over the top.
GUEST POST: Apple pecan pie roll from Very Culinary
Hi there, friends! I’m so happy be a part of Rachel’s Apple Party. Who doesn’t love a party?!
Do you have a favorite apple? I am partial to Honey Crisps, while my husband, Paul, really likes Red Delicious. My kids are completely impartial, which is quite shocking since they have an opinion about everything else!
Regardless, we all love apples and I’m always whipping up something with them, especially in the Fall.
Very Culinary readers won’t be at all surprised that my contribution to this party is sweet. And pie related. You just cannot go wrong with combining apples, pecans, brown sugar, cinnamon, and butter. It’s a win without even trying.
I also used a pre-made pie crust for this recipe. Because it’s easy. I’m all about the easy, as long as it’s still delicious. And this is! Might I even suggest you double the recipe and use both pie crusts? You’ll thank me later.
Apple Pecan Pie Roll
Ingredients
- 1 refrigerated pie crust
- 2 medium apples peeled and cored
- 1/2 C pecans chopped small
- 1/3 C light brown sugar
- 3 Tbsp unsalted butter softened
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 C powdered sugar
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 Tbsp milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Lighting coat a baking sheet with nonstick spray; set aside.
- Shred the apples in a food processor (or grate by hand.) Drain as much excess moisture from the apples as possible.
- In a medium bowl, stir together the pecans, brown sugar, butter, and cinnamon. Add in the shredded apple and mix to combine.
- Lightly flour a cutting board and place pie crust on it. Spread the apple mixture on the end nearest you and roll up into a log; moisten the edge to seal. Place on the baking sheet, seam side down. Bake for 22-25 minutes until golden brown.
- In the meantime, make the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk to create the desired consistency for drizzling (add more milk if it's too thick, more powdered sugar if it's too loose.)
- Remove roll from oven and let cool, then drizzle the glaze on top. Cut into 8 slices and enjoy!
I think this sounds like a fabulous way to eat pie for breakfast, right?! I’m always thinking and scheming of ways to do that. -Rachel

This looks so good! Apple and pecans go so well together and that glaze on top..I wish this were in front of me for breakfast right now!
Gosh! Pecans and Apples are such a great mix, a shame here where i live i cant find pecans so easily but.. i guess i can make this with Cashew nuts right?
This looks amazing. Who doesn’t want apple pie for breakfast? I do!
Mmm! Apple and pecans together are a match mad in heaven and I LOVE the store bought crust! They always turns our great!
Thanks for having me over, Rachel! Best. Party. Ever,
No, thank you! :)
This looks amazing and so simple too! I’m officially ready for apples now after seeing this :)
Once I am ready for fall this will definitely be something I should make. Looks fun and a nice change to regular pie.
Oh my, lawd!! This apple roll looks divine!
I could have this for breakfast, everyday! YUM!
Drooling! I want a slice!
Mmmm, everything about this recipe has me drooling (rather unattractively…good thing I’m the only one home!). Such a good idea!
I made a roll just like this once a few years ago and STILL (to this day) think about it! I have to make it again soon. I am officially ready for apple season!
Ohhh this screams fall… might be an addition to the Thanksgiving dessert table!
This is all of the most perfect flavors wrapped up into one. Yum!
Oh how delightful :) this looks perfect!
This does look perfectly delicious and perfect for breakfast. It has apples, how can that be bad for breakfast!!
Ok. Dumb question. Did you make the pie crust into a rectangle, or did you leave it as a circle? If you left it as a circle, when you rolled it up, didn’t some of the filling fall out? I think I”m having a not-very-smart-day here. It looks so yummy and now my tummy is growling. :)
From Amy’s photos, it appears as though the ends are still curved but I imagine you could definitely still roll it out a bit more if you prefer to prevent that from happening.
Not a dumb question! It’s a circle – I left about a 1/2 inch around the parameter without any filling so it wouldn’t fall out. Another option is, you could seal the ends and then prick holes in the top to vent.
Thanks! That’s kind of what I assumed. I appreciate the answer!
This looked great, but we were disappointed. I thought there was way too much filling for one roll and not enough flavor. Sadly I will not make this again.
