Apricot Glazed, Apple, Cinnamon Roll Pie with Homemade Whipped Cream

I have a couple of  Pie recipes using Cinnamon Rolls for the Crust. They're both very different recipes.
I've researched many similar recipes and here's another favorite that I've adapted for the Blog. You can either purchase the Crust or make your own.

Here are my favorite Apples to use in Pie:
They're listed in order of my preference. All of these will hold up well in a Pie Recipe.

Apricot Glazed, Apple, Cinnamon Roll Pie

Here's what you'll need:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
1 - 9" Pie Pan, I prefer Glass for this one so you can see the Cinnamon Roll Crust.

2 - 9" Pie Crusts. Make your own or purchase remade crusts.
1/2 C Brown Sugar
2 tsp Cinnamon
1/2 tsp Vanilla
4 TBS Butter, melted + Additional for the Topping Apple Slices.
6 Baking Apples, divided.
1/2 C Granulated Sugar
3 1/2  TBS Water, divided.
1/2 C Bonne Maman Apricot Preserves

For this recipe you'll make a Crust, Filling, Topping and Glaze.

Roll 2 Crusts together with a Rolling Pin.

In a Mixing Bowl:
Brown Sugar
Cinnamon
Vanilla
Butter
Mix well.
Spread evenly over the Crust.
Roll tightly into a log.
Cut into 1/2" slices.
Place them between 2 sheets of Parchment Paper and roll out to 1/4" thickness.
Press them into the Pie Pan on the bottom and up the sides (overlapping the rim).
Fold the ones along the rim in half and gently press the edge with a fork to create a decorative edge.
Refrigerate while you make the Filling.
