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 can (8 oz) refrigerated cinnamon rolls (with icing)
- 2 cups apple pie filling (or fresh apples, diced and mixed with cinnamon, sugar, and cornstarch)
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon sugar (for sprinkling)
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a muffin tin.
- 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.
- Place the flattened cinnamon roll dough into the muffin cups, pressing the edges to fit the shape of the tin.
- 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.
- Drizzle a small amount of melted butter over the top of the apple filling and sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar for extra flavor.
- 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.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the cinnamon roll edges are golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- Remove from the oven and allow the mini pies to cool slightly before drizzling with the included icing from the cinnamon rolls.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
- This recipe makes 8 mini apple pies, depending on the size of your cinnamon roll dough.
- For a richer flavor, drizzle caramel sauce over the mini pies.
- They can be made ahead by refrigerating unbaked pies for up to 24 hours before baking.
- If you prefer fresh apples, dice them and mix with cinnamon, sugar, and cornstarch to make your own filling.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for 3-4 days.
- Freeze baked mini pies for up to 3 months for future enjoyment.
