Ingredients
Scale
For the Apple Pie Cups
- 1 can (8 count) refrigerated cinnamon rolls with icing
- 21 ounces canned apple pie filling
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C), ensuring it reaches the correct temperature before baking the apple pie cups.
- Prepare Muffin Tin: Lightly grease a standard muffin tin to prevent sticking. This will help the cinnamon rolls bake perfectly and allow easy removal.
- Shape Cinnamon Rolls: Remove the cinnamon rolls from the can and separate them. Flatten each cinnamon roll into a round shape slightly larger than the muffin cup.
- Line Muffin Cups: Press each flattened cinnamon roll into the muffin cups, creating a cup shape with the dough, making sure the edges come slightly above the rim.
- Add Filling: Spoon about 2-3 tablespoons of the apple pie filling into each cinnamon roll cup, distributing evenly among the 8 cups.
- Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cinnamon rolls are cooked through and golden brown on top.
- Cool and Glaze: Remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the apple pie cups to cool for a few minutes. Drizzle the included cinnamon roll icing over the tops of the warm apple pie cups.
- Serve: Serve warm or at room temperature. These cups can be enjoyed as is or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
Notes
- You can substitute canned apple pie filling with homemade cooked apples if preferred.
- For extra crunch, consider adding chopped nuts or a sprinkle of granola on top after icing.
- Ensure not to overfill the cinnamon roll cups to avoid spillage during baking.
- These can be stored in an airtight container and reheated gently before serving.
