Apple Pie Pull Apart Bread

20 - Rhodes dinner rolls, thawed but still cold
1 - 14.5 oz can apple pie filling
1/3 - cup brown sugar
1 1/2 - teaspoons cinnamon 
1/2 - teaspoon vanilla extract  
1 - tablespoon butter

Powdered Sugar Glaze:

1 - teaspoon butter, melted

1 - 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar

1/2 - teaspoon vanilla

2 - tablespoons milk

Spray a Bundt pan with non stick spray. Cut each roll in half and arrange half of the dough pieces on the bottom of  the Bundt pan. You can also add a mixture of cinnamon and sugar to a large Ziplock bag and cover each dough piece before adding to the pan.

In a separate bowl, mix the pie filling, brown sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract and butter. Mix to combine. 

Add half of the apple mixture over the dough pieces, add the remaining dough pieces on top, and add the remaining pie filling. 

Spray a piece of plastic wrap with non stick spray and lightly cover the pan. Set in a warm place to rise until double in size and almost reach the top of the pan (about 1 1/2 hours). 

Remove the plastic wrap and place pan in a preheated 350 degree oven and bake for 35-40 minutes or until the rolls are golden brown and cooked through. Remove from oven and cool before adding glaze.

To make the glaze: Add the melted butter to medium size bowl. Add the powdered sugar, vanilla and milk. (Start with 1 tablespoons adding more only if needed). Use a wire whisk to mix the ingredients together. You want a pourable consistency. Drizzle over cooled bread.

Cook's Note: For more cinnamon flavor, mix 2 tablespoons cinnamon and 1/2 cup granulated sugar together in a large zip lock bag. Cut the rolls in half  and place them in the cinnamonsugar; shake well making sure all pieces are covered, and then arrange in Bundt pan.
