Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can (8 count) refrigerated cinnamon rolls
- 21 oz (595 g) canned apple pie filling
- Cooking spray or butter for greasing
- Caramel sauce (optional)
- Whipped cream (optional)
Instructions
- Prep Station: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and generously spray a 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Dough Placement: Gently unfurl each cinnamon roll and delicately press into muffin cavities, ensuring complete coverage of bottom and sides with an even layer of dough.
- Filling Distribution: Ladle apple pie filling into the center of each dough-lined cavity, spreading evenly and creating a uniform layer of sweet, spiced fruit.
- Baking Process: Slide muffin tin into preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, monitoring until the edges turn golden brown and the filling becomes slightly effervescent.
- Cooling and Finishing: Extract muffin tin from oven and let apple pie cups rest for 5 minutes, allowing them to stabilize and prevent potential burns during handling.
- Final Flourish: Elegantly drizzle included icing over warm cups, creating a glossy and appetizing presentation that enhances the dessert’s overall appeal.
- Serving Suggestion: Present immediately while warm, inviting guests to savor the harmonious blend of tender cinnamon roll crust and aromatic apple filling.
Notes
- Ensure Even Coating: Spray muffin tin thoroughly to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of pie cups.
- Press Dough Carefully: Gently stretch cinnamon roll dough to cover entire muffin cavity, creating a uniform base for filling.
- Watch Baking Time: Monitor golden-brown color and bubbling filling closely to avoid overcooking or burning the delicate dessert.
- Cool Before Serving: Let pie cups rest in pan for 5 minutes to stabilize structure and prevent potential burns from hot filling.
