Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 can (8 count) refrigerated cinnamon rolls with icing
  • 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
