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!

Cinnamon Roll Apple Pie Bites
Ingredients
- 1 (12.4 ounce can) refrigerated cinnamon rolls with icing
- 1 (21 ounce 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.

- 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.
