Description

Cinnamon Roll Mini Apple Pies are a delicious combination of warm, gooey apple pie filling and soft cinnamon roll dough. These bite-sized treats are perfect for any occasion and offer a comforting twist on two classic desserts.


Ingredients

  1. 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated cinnamon rolls (with icing)
  2. 2 cups apple pie filling (or fresh apples, diced and mixed with cinnamon, sugar, and cornstarch)
  3. 1 tablespoon butter, melted
  4. 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  5. 1 tablespoon sugar (for sprinkling)
  6. 1 egg (for egg wash)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a muffin tin.

  1. Roll out the cinnamon rolls and flatten each piece with a rolling pin to form a thin circle large enough to fit into the muffin tin.
  2. Place the flattened cinnamon roll dough into the muffin cups, pressing the edges to fit the shape of the tin.
  3. In a small bowl, mix the apple pie filling (or diced fresh apples with cinnamon, sugar, and cornstarch). Spoon a generous amount of apple filling into each cinnamon roll dough base.
  4. Drizzle a small amount of melted butter over the top of the apple filling and sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar for extra flavor.
  5. Crack the egg and whisk it together with a teaspoon of water to make an egg wash. Brush the edges of the cinnamon roll dough with the egg wash for a golden, shiny finish.
  6. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the cinnamon roll edges are golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
  7. Remove from the oven and allow the mini pies to cool slightly before drizzling with the included icing from the cinnamon rolls.
  8. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

  1. This recipe makes 8 mini apple pies, depending on the size of your cinnamon roll dough.
  2. For a richer flavor, drizzle caramel sauce over the mini pies.
  3. They can be made ahead by refrigerating unbaked pies for up to 24 hours before baking.
  4. If you prefer fresh apples, dice them and mix with cinnamon, sugar, and cornstarch to make your own filling.
  5. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for 3-4 days.
  6. Freeze baked mini pies for up to 3 months for future enjoyment.
