These muffin tin cinnamon roll apple pies are cute, delicious and you only need 2 ingredients to make them. Pretty incredible what a package of canned cinnamon rolls and some apple pie filling and a muffin tin can do.
As someone who’s an admitted horrible baker, I live for shortcut desserts like this one. Minimal effort with maximum results and only 2 ingredients! It just doesn’t get easiest to make than that. And I absolutely love the way they look, too.

How To Make It
Heres how to make this delicious dessert. You can find the full ingredients list along with instructions on the recipe card below.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees
First, open the cinnamon roll package. Place the icing off to the side to use for later. Using your fingers, press down on the individual cinnamon rolls to flatten them out. Place each one into the muffin tin cups that have been sprayed with cooking spray. Push the cinnamon roll into the bottom and up the sides.
Now, put about 2 slices of the apple pie filling on top of each of the cinnamon rolls. Place them into the center rack of the oven for about 13-15 minutes or until the cinnamon rolls are slightly browned and cooked through.
Then, let them cool in the muffin tin for about 5 minutes and lightly sprinkle them with cinnamon (optional). Microwave the glaze that came in the Pillsbury package for about 10 seconds or until its smooth. Pour the glaze all over the cinnamon roll apple pies and serve warm.
Can I Use Another Pie Filling?
Yes absolutely, you can. Almost any other pie filling that you can think of would work so choose your favorite.
Storage
Let the mini pies cool completely and place them into a food safe, air tight container. They will last in the fridge for up to three days.
