2-Ingredient Apple Pie Cups: An Easy Fall Dessert Recipe

Question 1

What kind of cinnamon rolls are best for making apple pie cups?

Accepted Answer

Use a standard 8-count can of small refrigerated cinnamon rolls, such as Pillsbury, with the original icing packet. Avoid large, fluffy cinnamon rolls designed for viral TikTok recipes, as the larger size will not form proper cups in a standard muffin pan.

Question 2

How long do you bake apple pie cups and at what temperature?

Accepted Answer

Bake the apple pie cups in a preheated 375°F oven for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the cinnamon roll dough is golden brown. Let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack, then drizzle with the included icing.

Question 3

Can you use fresh apples instead of canned pie filling for apple pie cups?

Accepted Answer

You can use fresh apples by making a quick homemade apple pie filling. Simply cook diced fresh apples with sugar, cinnamon, and a thickener like cornstarch until tender. However, the original recipe is designed for canned apple pie filling for maximum convenience.

Question 4

How do you store leftover apple pie cups and reheat them?

Accepted Answer

Store leftover apple pie cups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. They are best enjoyed warm; reheat them in a 350°F oven for 5 to 6 minutes to restore their original softness and warmth without making the dough chewy.
