Apple Pie Cups with Canned Apple Filling and Cinnamon Rolls!
I don’t like spiders. They are like little ninja’s – unpredictable, move suddenly, and come out of nowhere. I don’t care if their purpose is to eat bugs – I can kill the bugs myself, I don’t need to rely on a spider to do it!
The other night my son spotted a spider creeping along the wall. Before I knew it, he had his most powerful Nerf gun locked and loaded. He pelted that spider to his death!
I wanted to dispose of the dead body, so I asked where it went. My husband says, “The hospital!” It was hilarious, we got a good laugh out of it. Poor spider, I hope his friends watching through the window think twice about coming into our house!
Speaking of thinking twice, you don’t need to overthink this recipe for 2-Ingredient Apple Pie Cups with Cinnamon Rolls – it’s super easy!
Why this Recipe Works:
- Cinnamon Rolls Act as the Perfect Ready Made Crust – Each roll fits right into a muffin cup, bakes up flaky and golden, and brings built in cinnamon sweetness – no dough mixing, rolling, or fuss.
- Apple Pie Filling Delivers Instant Fall Flavor – The tender apples and warm spices bubble into a gooey center that tastes just like classic Apple Pie, but without peeling, chopping, or cooking apples.
- Only Two Ingredients Means Guaranteed Success – With no complicated steps or measurements, this recipe is practically foolproof. It’s ideal for beginners, busy bakers, or last minute holiday treats.
- The Muffin Tin Method Creates Perfect Single Serve Desserts – Each cup bakes evenly, holds its shape, and delivers the perfect ratio of flaky crust to gooey apple filling.
Ingredients You’ll Need:
- 1 tube Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls + Icing – This is your ready to use crust. Each cinnamon roll fits perfectly into a muffin tin, bakes up flaky and golden, and adds sweet cinnamon flavor without any mixing or measuring.
- Apple Pie Filling – This brings all the warm, cozy apple pie flavor with zero prep.
How to Make 2-Ingredient Apple Pie Cups with Cinnamon Rolls
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Spray 8 regular-size muffin cups with non-stick spray.
- Separate cinnamon rolls and place one in each sprayed cup. Press into and up sides of muffins cups.
- Spoon pie filling into each dough-lined cup.
- Bake for 12 minutes.
- Microwave icing for 10 seconds and drizzle over each mini-pie.
My Best Tips:
- Flatten the Cinnamon Rolls Slightly – Press each roll into a wider circle so it fits the muffin cup and creates a deeper ‘crust’ for the apple filling.
- Chop the Apple Pie Filling – Cut the apple slices into smaller pieces so they nestle into the cinnamon roll cups without overflowing.
- Serve Warm for the Best Texture – The cinnamon roll stays soft and flaky, and the apple filling becomes perfectly gooey.
- Add Optional Toppings – A sprinkle of cinnamon sugar, caramel drizzle, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream turns them into a cozy Fall dessert.
