2 Ingredient Apple Pie Bites!

CINNAMON ROLL DOUGH: Cinnamon roll dough is already sweetened, but regular biscuit dough can be used, too! Sprinkle on some cinnamon sugar to get that sweet cinnamon flavor!

FILLING: Aside from apples, look for other delicious fruit-based fillings: cherry, strawberry, peach, or blueberry. PRO TIP: Many brands have low sugar or sugar-free fillings to choose from! Or make your own apple pie filling and season it any way you like.

TOPPINGS: Most brands of cinnamon rolls come with a packet of icing that gets drizzled over the apple pie bites. But a bit of caramel sauce or a dollop of whipped cream is tasty, too!

How to Make Cinnamon Roll Apple Pie Bites

It’s easy and fun to make this quick treat:

Scoop equal portions of pie filling into each cup.
Bake (per recipe below) until the crust is brown and the filling is bubbly. Remove from heat.

Quick Tips and Tricks

Make apple pie bites for little party favors by baking them in colorful cupcake liners for some grab-and-go goodness!
For smaller apple pie pieces, cut down the apple chunks with a potato masher before putting into cinnamon roll pie crusts.
Refrigerate these tasty apple pie morsels for about 3-4 days covered in a container, or in a zippered bag. If you need to stack them, place parchment paper in between the layers so they do not stick together.
For longer term storage, freeze bites for up to 3 months. Be sure to store them in a sealed container, or even wrap individually with plastic wrap for a quick grab and go treat.

Ingredients

1 Can Refrigerated Cinnamon Rolls with Icing
1 Can Apple Pie Filling Coarsely Chopped

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F and spray a muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray.
Open can of rolls and set icing aside. Separate dough and flatten to circles. Press dough into muffin cups, making sure to cover bottom and sides.
Spoon 2 Tablespoons apple pie filling onto each dough cup.
Bake for 14 to 16 minutes. Crust will become golden and filling will be bubbly. Let cool for 5 minutes.
Microwave icing using 50% power for about 15 seconds. It should be thin enough to drizzle over each apple pie bite as desired.

Notes

Sometimes the apples in the pie filling are a bit large for this 2 bite dessert. Simply mash the filling with a potato masher before spooning into the pie cups.
Apple pie bites will remain at peak freshness stored in the refrigerator, in a sealed container, for about 3-4 days.
Freeze cooled apple pie bites in a covered container or zippered freezer bag for up to 3 months. They make the perfect grab-and-go treat.
