Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 25 minutes
Ingredients
- 12.4 ounce container refrigerated cinnamon rolls with icing
- 20 ounce (½ can) apple pie filling
- ¼ cup walnuts chopped
- 2 tbsp caramel sauce
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- Additional caramel sauce, optional garnish
- Additional chopped walnuts, optional garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and grease 8 cups in a muffin tin with cooking spray.
- Open the cinnamon rolls and squish them flat with your fingers or the bottom of a glass.
- Push the cinnamon rolls into the tins to form a “cup” for the filling.
- In a medium sized bowl, place the apple pie mix and use a fork or knife to cut the apples into bite size pieces.
- Mix together the cut apple pie filling, walnuts, caramel sauce and cinnamon until well blended.
- Place 1 large spoonful of the filling into each cinnamon roll cup, filling them slightly heaping full.
- Bake the apple pie cups in the oven for 13-17 minutes or until the edges of the cup are golden brown and the filling is beginning to bubble.
- Remove from the oven and allow the cups to cool for 5-10 minutes before removing to a cooling rack.
- Drizzle with the icing from the cinnamon roll tube, caramel sauce, and chopped walnuts, optional.
Notes
Storage:
- To Store: Apple Pie Cups can be loosely covered and stored at room temperature for up to 2 days. If refrigerated they will last an additional 1-2 days.
- To Freeze: To freeze your Apple Pie Cups, wrap them and place them in an airtight freezer safe container or bag for 2-3 months.
- For easy cleanup, place a cookie sheet under the wire cooling rack to catch the excess frosting that will drip off of the edges.
- Be sure to spray non-stick cooking spray on the bottom and sides of the pan as the cinnamon rolls will be sticky.
- When flattening the cinnamon rolls, be sure to make a large enough indent for the filling to stay in the "cup."
