Ingredients

Scale

Cinnamon Roll Cups

  • 1 can (8 count) refrigerated cinnamon rolls
  • 21 ounces canned apple pie filling

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease 8 cups of a muffin pan thoroughly to prevent sticking.
  2. Shape the Dough: Separate the cinnamon roll dough into individual rolls. Press each roll into the bottom and up the sides of each greased muffin cup, creating a cup-shaped shell.
  3. Add Filling: Spoon about 2 tablespoons of canned apple pie filling into each cinnamon roll dough cup, spreading evenly but not overfilling.
  4. Bake: Place the muffin pan in the oven and bake for 15 to 18 minutes, until the cinnamon rolls are puffed and golden brown on top.
  5. Cool and Finish: Remove the tray from the oven and let the cups cool for about 5 minutes. Drizzle the included cinnamon roll icing on top of each warm cup before serving.

Notes

  • Make sure to grease the muffin cups well to ensure easy removal of the apple pie cups.
  • You can substitute canned apple pie filling with homemade filling for a fresher taste.
  • Serve warm for the best flavor and texture.
  • These apple pie cups can be stored in an airtight container and reheated gently before serving.
