Ingredients
- Nonstick baking spray
- 2 packages refrigerated cinnamon rolls regular size, 16-18 oz each
- 21 ounce can apple pie filling
- ice cream or icing from cinnamon roll package optional for serving
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F/180°C.
- Spray a 12-cup standard muffin tin with nonstick baking spray.
- Open cinnamon rolls and flatten each one with a rolling pin (dust with flour if you find it too sticky.)
- Place the flattened cinnamon rolls into each muffin tin. Press gently into the muffin tin, and cut off extra around the edges.
- Fill each cup with apple pie filling. If your apple pieces are too big, make sure to cut them into 1/2-inch cubes.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown.
- Drizzle icing on top or serve with ice cream. (If you are not eating right away, wait until the pie cups cool before drizzling with icing.)
Notes

- You can prepare these apple pie cups the day before so they’re ready to go the next day!
