Cinnamon-Roll Apple Pie Cups are a delightful dessert combining the flavors of cinnamon rolls and apple pie, perfect for a sweet treat.
Ingredients
- 1 can (12.4 oz) refrigerated cinnamon rolls with icing (8 rolls)
- 2 medium apples, peeled and diced
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- Reserved icing from the cinnamon roll package
- 1–2 teaspoons milk (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8-cup muffin pan.
- Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, and lemon juice. Cook for 5–7 minutes until slightly softened.
- Mix cornstarch with water and stir into the apples. Cook for 1–2 minutes until the filling thickens. Remove from heat.
- Separate the cinnamon rolls and flatten each slightly. Press one into each muffin cup, forming a small bowl with raised edges.
- Spoon the warm apple mixture evenly into the cinnamon roll cups.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes or until the cinnamon rolls are golden brown and fully cooked.
- Allow the cups to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before carefully removing.
- Warm the reserved icing slightly, thinning with milk if needed. Drizzle over the apple pie cups.
Notes
