First things first: heat your oven to 375°F. While your oven warms up, grab your muffin tin and spray each of the 8 cups with a generous amount of cooking spray. This ensures that your delightful cups come out easily once they’ve baked.

Next, take your can of cinnamon rolls and carefully separate the dough into 8 individual rolls. You want to press each roll into the base and up the sides of the muffin cups. Don’t worry if they’re a bit misshapen; they will puff up beautifully as they bake. Aim for even coverage for that superb golden finish.

Now for the star of the show: the apple pie filling. Spoon in about 2 generous tablespoons of the filling into each dough-lined cup. Make sure to distribute it evenly to maximize flavor in each bite. For an extra touch of flavor, sprinkle each filling with a light dusting of ground cinnamon and a pinch of brown sugar.

Pop your muffin tin into the preheated oven and bake for about 15 to 19 minutes. You’re looking for a lovely golden brown on the dough. The aroma will have your mouth watering! Once they’re golden, take them out and let them cool in the pan for about 5 minutes. This cooling time helps them set a bit, making them easier to handle.

While they cool, go ahead and transfer the included icing from the cinnamon roll package into a small microwavable bowl. Pop it in the microwave uncovered for about 8 to 10 seconds on low. You want it thin enough to drizzle but not too runny.

Finally, place your freshly baked apple pie cups onto a serving board or plate. Drizzle the warm icing over each cup. Serve these up warm and watch as everyone digs in with glee. You might want to hide a few for yourself; they go quickly!
