Apple Pie Cinnamon Roll Cups
Apple Pie Cinnamon Roll Cups – made with Pillsbury refrigerated cinnamon rolls, filled with homemade apple pie filling, baked in a muffin tin are very delicious and quick and easy to prepare. They can be perfect for breakfast, brunch or as a dessert.
Ingredients
- 1 can 13 oz Pillsbury refrigerated cinnamon rolls with icing
- 3 medium Golden delicious apples cored and diced
- 2 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- ¼ cup Brown sugar
- ¾ teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon Ground ginger
- ⅛ teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- Pinch of salt
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Instructions
- TO MAKE HOMEMADE APPLE PIE FILLING - Start with melting butter in a skillet, at medium-high heat. Next, add peeled and diced apples and cook for 5 minutes, stirring from time to time. Next, add sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and salt.
- Stir well and cook until apples are soft, stirring from time to time, for about 5 minutes. When the apples are cooked, stir in lemon and cook for one more minute. Remove from heat.
- TO MAKE THE CINNAMON ROLL CUPS - Preheat oven to 400 F. Spray 8 cups in a muffin tin with non stick spray. Take 8 cinnamon rolls and roll them with a rolling pin and then press into muffin cups, so that the bottom and the sides of it are covered.
- Put apple pie mixture in the muffin cups over cinnamon rolls and bake for 12-15 minutes until they get golden brown. Take them out of the oven, and leave in a muffin tin for a few minutes. Take them out of muffin tin carefully and put on a cooling wrack.
- Transfer icing to a small microwavable bowl. Microwave 8 to 10 seconds. Then, drizzle icing over the cups.
- Serve them warm, or at a room temperature.
Notes
- Always use regular size cinnamon roll for standard size muffin tin.
- I prefer homemade apple pie filling with Apple Pie cinnamon Roll Cups, but you can also use a ½ (20 oz.) canned apple pie filling.
