Description

These Mini Apple Pies with Cinnamon Rolls are a quick and delicious treat combining the sweet, cinnamony goodness of classic cinnamon rolls with warm apple pie filling. Perfectly portioned for 8 servings, these individual pies bake up golden brown with a delightful soft crust and a luscious apple filling, finished with a drizzle of sweet frosting for an irresistible dessert or snack.

Ingredients

Cinnamon Roll Cups

  • 1 (12.4 ounce) tube of cinnamon rolls (8 count)

Filling

  • 1 (21-ounce) can apple pie filling (or 2 cups homemade apple pie filling)

Topping

  • Frosting from the cinnamon roll can, for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it’s at the perfect temperature for baking the mini pies evenly and to a golden brown crust.
  2. Prepare Muffin Pan: Lightly spray 8 holes of a muffin pan with baking spray to prevent the cinnamon roll dough from sticking and help with easy removal of the pies once baked.
  3. Shape Cinnamon Rolls: Remove the cinnamon rolls from their tube and flatten each one gently between your palms to form a flat disk. Press each flattened roll into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared muffin pan holes, creating little pie crust cups.
  4. Add Apple Filling: Spoon about three tablespoons of the apple pie filling into each cinnamon roll cup. Distribute evenly to ensure each mini pie has a generous amount of filling.
  5. Bake: Place the muffin pan in the preheated oven and bake for 14 to 17 minutes, or until the cinnamon rolls are puffed up and golden brown around the edges, signifying they are cooked through.
  6. Cool: Allow the mini pies to cool in the muffin pan for a few minutes to set, then carefully transfer them to a wire rack to finish cooling. This helps maintain their shape and texture.
  7. Drizzle Frosting and Serve: Once cooled, drizzle the cinnamon roll frosting over each mini pie for an extra touch of sweetness and serve immediately for a delightful treat.

Notes

  • Use homemade apple pie filling if you prefer fresher taste or want to control sugar levels.
  • Cooling the pies properly before adding frosting prevents the frosting from melting too much and running off.
  • For variation, add a sprinkle of chopped nuts or a dash of cinnamon over the filling before baking.
  • These mini pies can be served warm or at room temperature.
