Shopping List/Ingredients

These little pies are so easy you will want to make them again and again. And they are great to throw in a lunchbox too!

To make, you will need:

• Regular roll of refrigerated cinnamon rolls – be sure to get the regular size for these and not jumbo. They are the perfect size for this simple pie dough that is packed with flavor.
• Apple pie filling – Apple pie filling is a real timesaver! Be sure to chop the apples into small pieces so you can fill each pie cup.
• Flour for rolling – just a sprinkle will do
• Muffin tin and nonstick cooking spray – for baking your tasty pies. This recipe calls for a regular size muffin tin, not a mini muffin pan.

How to Make Individual Apple Pies

I love how quickly this easy recipe comes together for a classic Thanksgiving dessert with a twist. Serve right away or keep them in an airtight container to enjoy whenever you want.

First, preheat the oven to 375°F and grease 8 muffin cups in a regular muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray. For best results, make sure the bottom and sides of each muffin cup is coated.

Then, open the cinnamon roll package and separate each roll.

Sprinkle some flour on a work surface and use a rolling pin to roll each cinnamon roll until it’s flat. You can also use your fingers to flatten the rolls into small circles.

Carefully press each cinnamon roll pie crust into the prepared muffin pan to form a cup.

Open the apple pie filling and coarsely chop any large pieces.

Spoon about two heaping tablespoons into each cinnamon roll cup. Then bake.

When cooked through, allow to cool for a few minutes and drizzle the icing that came with the cinnamon rolls on top of the apple mixture.

Optional Toppings

This mini apple pie recipe would be great as is or topped with a variety of options. Here are a topping few ideas.

• A scoop of ice cream
• Cool whip or homemade whipped cream
• A sprinkle of ground cinnamon
• Add a crumb topping made of flour, brown sugar, and butter to the top of the apples before cooking
• Caramel sauce
• A few drops of lemon juice

Variations

If you like the mini pie idea, but want to change it up, you could always roll out some packaged or homemade pie crust and use a round cookie cutter to fit the muffin pan.

Or make these easy apple pie bars that use a shortbread crust.
