Easy Recipes: Apple Pie Cupcakes

Last Saturday night my husband and I celebrated Father’s Day with his parents. My father-in-law wanted apple pie for dessert but that just seemed boring so I concocted a recipe for Apple Pie Cupcakes based off of the Cinnamon Roll Dutch Apple Pie I made last fall. The cupcakes were a hit and the photos I shared on Instagram got lots of likes and requests for the recipe. These cupcakes are very easy to make and only call for a few ingredients-I had all but 2 of them in my pantry!

Ingredients

Topping

• 1/2 cup flour
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 c butter-softened

Filling

• 1 can Comstock More Apple Pie Filling
• 1 1/4 tsp Apple Pie Spice

Cupcake

• 1 tube Pillsbury Grands Cinnamon Rolls
• 1 can Redi-Whip

Instructions

1. Pre-heat the oven to 375 degrees
2. Line the muffin tin with cupcake liners

Cupcake

1. Roll wax paper out onto the counter.
2. Open the tube of cinnamon rolls.
3. Separate the rolls and flatten each one out.
4. Place one roll into each cupcake liner and press into the sides and bottom.
5. Bake for 5 minutes.
6. While that is baking, prepare the topping and filling.
   

Topping

1. In a small bowl mix the flour, brown sugar and softened butter together with a fork. This is a streusel topping so it should be crumbly.
   

Filling

1. In a medium bowl pour in the entire can of apple pie filling.
2. Using a fork and knife quickly dice the apple slices into smaller chunks.
3. Mix in the apple pie spice.
   
4. Spoon the filling into the pre-baked cupcakes-all the way to the top.
   
5. Crumble the topping onto the cupcakes.
