These little apple pie cups taste like a slice of warm apple pie with a cinnamon roll for a crust, and they take two ingredients. Each cinnamon roll is pressed into a muffin cup, filled with a spoonful of apple pie filling, and baked until puffed and golden. The icing that comes in the can goes on top while they are still warm. They are a cozy fall dessert you can make in under half an hour.
Why You’ll Love It
- Two ingredients. A can of cinnamon rolls and a can of apple pie filling.
- Under 30 minutes from fridge to table.
- Easy to share. Every cup is its own little pie.
What You Need
- 1 can (about 13 oz) refrigerated cinnamon rolls with icing (8 rolls)
- 1 1/3 cups apple pie filling (about half a 21 oz can)
- ground cinnamon (optional, for sprinkling)
How to Make 2-Ingredient Apple Pie Cups
- Heat the oven to 350°F and grease 8 cups of a muffin tin.
- Separate the cinnamon rolls and set the icing aside.
- Press each roll into a muffin cup, pushing it up the sides to make a little cup.
- Chop any large apple slices, then spoon about 2 heaping tablespoons of filling into each cup.
- Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, until the edges are golden and the dough is cooked through.
- Cool for 5 minutes, then drizzle with the warmed icing and lift the cups out with a small knife.
Tips
- Chop the apples smaller so the filling sits neatly in each cup.
- Warm the icing for 10 seconds in the microwave so it drizzles easily.
- A scoop of vanilla ice cream on top makes them a real dessert.
Serving and Storing
Best warm. Keep leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 3 days and rewarm for 10 to 15 seconds.
