Ingredients
- 1 can (8 count) refrigerated cinnamon rolls with icing
- 21 ounces canned apple pie filling
- 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.
- Form the Cup Base: Separate the cinnamon roll dough into 8 individual pieces. Press each piece firmly into the bottom and up the sides of the greased muffin cups to create a dough cup.
- Add Apple Pie Filling: Spoon about 2 tablespoons of canned apple pie filling evenly into each cinnamon roll dough cup, making sure not to overfill.
- Bake the Cups: Place the muffin pan in the preheated oven and bake for 15 to 18 minutes until the cinnamon roll dough is golden brown and cooked through.
- Cool and Add Icing: Remove the muffin pan from the oven and let the apple pie cups cool for about 5 minutes. Drizzle the included cinnamon roll icing over each cup for a sweet finish.
Notes
- You can substitute canned apple pie filling with homemade apple compote for a fresher taste.
- Ensure the cupcake cups are well greased to make removing the pies easier.
- For extra crunch, sprinkle chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts on top before baking.
- Serve warm for best flavor and texture.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
