Ingredients

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

Instructions

1. Preheat and Prepare:

Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease 8 cups of a muffin pan to prevent the dough from sticking and to ensure easy removal after baking.

2. Form the Cups:

Open the can of cinnamon rolls and separate the dough into 8 individual rolls. Take one roll and press it into a greased muffin tin cup, forming a cup shape with the dough. Repeat this process for each of the 8 muffin tin cups. The dough should create a nice little nest to hold the apple pie filling.

3. Fill with Apple Pie Filling:

Next, spoon about 2 tablespoons of apple pie filling into each cinnamon roll cup. The filling should sit nicely within the dough, creating the perfect blend of cinnamon roll and apple pie flavors.

4. Bake:

Place the muffin pan in the preheated oven and bake the Apple Pie Cups for 15-18 minutes, or until the cinnamon rolls are golden brown and fully baked. The aroma of cinnamon and apples will fill your kitchen as they bake!

5. Cool and Drizzle:

Once the Apple Pie Cups are done baking, remove the muffin pan from the oven and allow the cups to cool for about 5 minutes. This short cooling time helps the cups set slightly while still keeping them warm and gooey.

Finally, take the icing that came with the cinnamon rolls and drizzle it over the top of each Apple Pie Cup. This adds a sweet, creamy finish that perfectly complements the warm apple filling.

6. Serve and Enjoy:

Serve these Apple Pie Cups warm and watch them disappear! They’re perfect on their own, but you can also pair them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
