Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 can (8 count) refrigerated cinnamon rolls
  • 21 ounces canned apple pie filling

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Muffin Pan: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and generously grease 8 cups of a muffin pan to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of the apple pie cups.
  2. Press Dough into Muffin Cups: Separate the cinnamon roll dough into 8 individual rolls. Press each roll into the bottom and up the sides of each greased muffin cup, forming a dough cup that will hold the apple filling.
  3. Add Apple Filling: Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the canned apple pie filling evenly into each cinnamon roll dough cup, distributing the apples to create a balanced flavor in every bite.
  4. Bake the Cups: Place the muffin pan in the preheated oven and bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the cinnamon rolls are puffed up and golden brown on top, indicating they are fully cooked.
  5. Cool and Drizzle with Icing: Remove the muffin pan from the oven and allow the apple pie cups to cool for about 5 minutes. Drizzle the cinnamon roll icing (included in the can) over each cup for a sweet finishing touch.

Notes

  • Make sure to grease the muffin pan adequately to avoid sticking.
  • For extra texture, consider adding chopped nuts or raisins to the apple filling.
  • The dessert is best enjoyed warm but can be stored in an airtight container and reheated.
  • Cooking times may vary slightly depending on your oven; keep an eye on the rolls to avoid over-browning.
  • These can also be made with homemade cinnamon roll dough if preferred.
