- 2 13-oz packages refrigerated cinnamon roll dough I used Pillsbury
- 1 21-oz can apple pie filling
- icing from cinnamon roll package, or ice cream
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Spray a 12-cup standard muffin tin with nonstick baking spray.
Lightly flour a work surface. Open the cinnamon roll package and remove one cinnamon roll. Flatten it with your fingertips on the work surface (you can also use a rolling pin).
Then press the flattened cinnamon roll into one muffin cup to fit. Repeat for the remaining muffin cups.
Spoon apple pie filling into each muffin cup until 3/4 full.
Bake for 15-18 minutes or until puffy and golden.
Remove from the oven and cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
Slide a small spatula around the edges to remove the cups.
Optional: Heat the icing in the microwave for 10 seconds on low-power and then drizzle onto the cups. Alternatively, serve with ice cream or caramel sauce.
- If you use a brand of cinnamon roll dough other than Pillsbury, use the oven temperature and baking time specified on the package instructions.
- Homemade Apple Pie Filling: to make your own filling, simmer the following in a saucepan over medium heat for 5-7 minutes or until soft:
- 4 large apples (Granny Smoth, Honeycrisp, Spy etc.), peeled and sliced
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 cup sugar until soft
- Large Cinnamon Rolls: To use them, you'll need to cut them to fit the muffin cups and piece leftover strips together for additional cups.
- Make Ahead: You can make apple pie cups one day ahead of time and store at room temperature in an airtight container. You can also freeze them for up to 2 months.
