Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 package cinnamon rolls (with frosting, refrigerated, usually contains 8 rolls)
  • 1/3 cup apple pie filling, chopped into 1/2 inch pieces

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Muffin Tin: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease 8 cups of a muffin tin to prevent sticking.
  2. Shape Cinnamon Rolls: Remove all 8 cinnamon rolls from the package. Press each cinnamon roll dough into the greased muffin cups, pushing it up the sides to form a cup shape.
  3. Add Apple Filling: Spoon about 2 large tablespoons of chopped apple pie filling into the center of each cinnamon roll cup, distributing evenly.
  4. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 15 minutes, or until the rolls turn golden brown.
  5. Cool and Frost: Allow the baked cups to cool for 5 minutes, then drizzle the included frosting over the top while warm.
  6. Serve: Serve the cinnamon roll apple pie cups warm and enjoy the delightful combination of flavors.

Notes

  • Use refrigerated cinnamon rolls with included frosting for best results.
  • Chop the apple pie filling to roughly 1/2 inch pieces to fit nicely inside the cups.
  • Let cups cool slightly before frosting to prevent frosting from melting too much.
  • These cups can be served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra special dessert.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 4 days.
