Description

Homemade Apple Pie Cups deliver classic American dessert comfort in miniature form. Flaky pastry shells cradle warm cinnamon-spiced apples, offering a delightful personal-sized twist you’ll savor with each delectable bite.


Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • 1 can (8 count) refrigerated cinnamon rolls
  • 21 ounces (595 grams) canned apple pie filling

Optional Toppings:

  • Caramel sauce (optional)
  • Whipped cream (optional)

Baking Support:

  • Cooking spray or butter for greasing

Instructions

  1. Prepare the oven by heating it to 375°F (190°C) and thoroughly coat a 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. Carefully unroll each cinnamon roll from the package and gently press the dough into the individual muffin cavities, ensuring the dough covers the bottom and sides evenly.
  3. Spoon approximately of prepared apple pie filling into the center of each dough-lined cup, distributing the filling evenly.
  4. Transfer the muffin tin to the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, watching for a golden-brown crust and slightly bubbling filling.
  5. Once baked, carefully remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the apple pie cups to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, which helps them set and prevents burning.
  6. Drizzle the included icing over the warm apple pie cups, creating an attractive and sweet finish.
  7. Serve the dessert while still warm, allowing guests to enjoy the delightful combination of soft cinnamon roll dough and spiced apple filling.
