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!

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

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.

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.
