The Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to make this super easy apple dessert (the exact measurements and full recipe instructions are below in the printable recipe card):
- Refrigerated cinnamon rolls with frosting
- Apple pie filling
How to Make 2 Ingredient Apple Pie Cups
Grease 8 cups of a muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray. Place a cinnamon roll in each greased cup and press it up the sides of the cup to form a well.
Fill each well of the cinnamon roll with apple pie filling.
Bake at 375ºF for 15-18 minutes until the cinnamon rolls are cooked through. Cool in the muffin pan for 5 minutes, then remove them and place on a wire cooling rack.
Drizzle the cups with the frosting from the cinnamon roll package.
Tip: for easy cleanup, place a cookie sheet under the wire cooling rack to catch the excess frosting that will drip off of the edges.
Serve the apple pie cups warm or at room temperature.
Variations
After you try making this super easy apple dessert, you might want to get creative and try some fun variations. Here are some ideas:
- Different pie filling – raspberry, peach, cherry, strawberry, or blueberry pie filling instead of apple
- Cinnamon – dust the top of the top of the finished apple pie cups with cinnamon
- Cream cheese – beat 8 tablespoons of cream cheese with 1-2 tablespoons of granulated sugar, then add a tablespoon of the mixture to the apple pie cups before adding the apples.
- Orange – use orange flavored cinnamon rolls for an extra hint of flavor.
How to Store Leftovers
Keep leftover pie cups in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. To reheat, microwave on high heat for 10-15 seconds at a time until warm.

I have not tried this recipe yet but I am going to this evening!!!!! Looks easy and delicious. I can’t wait to feed my family beans.!!! Thank you for sharing this!!!!
I made this recipe…very good! Can you freeze these?
Made for the weekly family gathering and they were delish! So simple to make and they tasted just like an apple fritter! Will try the cream cheese filling with apple pie filling on top next! This recipe is a definite keeper!!
I used the jumbo cinnamon rolls, put them in a big muffin pan. I mix up some crumble and put it on top of each. Bake at 375* for 26 mins. Put cream cheese icing after baked. Yummy.
These have been a success in my household, between hubbster and toddler, but I was wondering if you had any recommendations on reheating?
Can u use real apples

Looks easy & delious  in my area have never seen apple pie filling a can. Would have to make from scratch.
I had stumbled across this recipe before and bookmarked it, since my house of worship will occasionally have pot lucks. Last month I found out one was planned for just this passed Sunday. Saturday I bought 4 cans of cinnamon rolls and 3 cans of apple pie filling. There were over 40 people planning to go, but I knew we had members that were either diabetic or gluten intolerant, so I planned on making 32. I did make 32. I tried one to see how they tasted and I was ecstatic. However, I wanted to make sure I wasn’t fooling myself, so I had my 24 year old son try one. He liked it, too!
I took the remaining 30 with me. I came home with 4. I was asked about how to make them and I did pass it along, including giving one lady a link to this page so she’d see where I got it.
Thank You!
That’s the first time I’ve taken anything to a pot luck and it was great that people enjoyed it!
These were soooo easy to make. It was harder opening the cinnamon rolls than it was making these. And they are soooo good too. Did with whipped cream topping instead. Didn’t have any left overs either
These look so simple and delish!
Is there any way to do this camping over a fire? I’m thinking foil over top and place over indirect fire but have no clue how long or if this would even work.
We did these over the fire at a Gems weekend retreat. We had sticks almost the diameter of a baseball bat, bark removed and sanded smooth. (Make these ahead of time at home, rinse under water) Before using coat end with margarine or butter and form your dough around the end covered with margarine and pressing it firmly on with your hand and roast it over the fire being sure to constantly turn it just like you would a marshmallow until it is done. Then let cool for a couple minutes, slide off and fill with your pie filling.

They look easy and delicious!
