Best Dessert For Thanksgiving: Cinnamon Roll Apple Pie Cups Recipe

You only need three simple ingredients to create these mouthwatering apple pie cupcakes. They’re easy to make and perfect for fall.
Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 20 minutes
Servings 12 Apple Pie Cups

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

  • If using large size cinnamon rolls (grands), you’ll need to cut the rolls to fit your muffin pan. You can use the leftover strips to make some extra cups.
  • You can prepare these apple pie cups the day before so they’re ready to go the next day!
