2-Ingredient Apple Pie Cups

Recipe Ingredients

This ingredient list is as easy as 1, 2 … and that’s it! You just need 2 simple ingredients, and you’ll have a sweet fall treat ready to eat in no time.

Pillsbury™ Flaky Cinnamon Rolls with Butter Cream Icing: We love these cinnamon rolls for this recipe because they puff up flaky and yummy, making them the perfect base for these mini apple pie bites.

Apple Pie Filling: You can find canned fruit filling in virtually any grocery store, and it’s so convenient. All you have to do is open the can, and it’s ready to use! If you don’t want apple, you can use any other flavor of prepared fruit pie filling—cherry or blueberry would be delicious. And if you’re in a pinch, you could use a scoop of jam in each cinnamon roll pie cup instead!

How to Make 2-Ingredient Apple Pie Cups

These apple pie cups are almost too easy! Here’s a quick overview of what to do. Then, check out the full recipe below.

1. Prep the Pie “Crust”

Spray your muffin pan with a little cooking spray so the cups release easily. Then, separate the cinnamon roll dough, and gently press each roll into the bottom and up the sides of the muffin cups, forming little dough “cups” to hold all that yummy pie filling.

2. Add the Filling

Scoop a generous 2 tablespoons of apple pie filling into each dough-lined cup, being careful not to overfill. If the pieces of apple aren’t already diced up, we’d recommend cutting them into smaller pieces so you can get more fruit in each cup.

3. Bake

Pop the muffin pan in the oven, and bake until the cinnamon roll dough is golden brown and puffy and the filling is slightly bubbly.

4. Add Icing and Enjoy

While the cups cool, microwave the icing for a few seconds until it’s soft enough to drizzle. Then, spoon it over each warm apple pie cup. Serve immediately and watch them disappear; these are best enjoyed fresh and warm!

Storing and Reheating 2-Ingredient Apple Pie Cups

If you happen to have any leftover apple pie cups, they keep well for a few days and taste almost as good reheated. Just warm them slightly, and they’re ready to enjoy again.

Room Temperature

You can store the apple pie cups in an airtight container overnight on the counter but not for more than a day or so. Otherwise, they’ll get too gooey and stale.

Refrigerator

This dessert will keep well in an airtight container for up to 5 days in the fridge.

Freezer

If you’re planning to store them for later, you can freeze them in an airtight container for up to 6 months.

Reheating

• Room Temperature or Fridge: Heat in the air fryer or oven for 3 to 4 minutes at 350°F.
• Freezer: Heat in the air fryer or oven for 8 to 10 minutes at 350°F.
