2. Cut each cinnamon roll into quarters. Spread half the pieces in the dish and top with half the apple pie filling, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
3. Layer the remaining cinnamon roll pieces over the top, then add the rest of the apple filling. Drizzle melted butter over everything.
4. Bake 30-35 minutes until golden and cooked through.
5. While baking, whisk the icing packet with cream cheese, milk, and vanilla until smooth to make the glaze.
6. Let the baked rolls cool about 5 minutes, then drizzle the cream cheese glaze over the top.
7. Add pecans, walnuts, or caramel sauce if desired, then serve warm.
8. Store leftovers in the fridge up to 4 days and reheat before serving.
