Apple Pie-Stuffed Cinnamon Buns

Apple Pie-Stuffed Cinnamon Buns

David Venable

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Serves: 8

Ingredients

  • 1 (12.4-oz) tube cinnamon rolls with icing (8 rolls)
  • 1 (21-oz) can apple pie filling, chopped

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Coat a muffin tin with non-stick baking spray. Break apart cinnamon rolls from the tube and set aside the icing. Flatten each roll and press into the muffin tin with a little bit going up the sides. Fill each roll with 1-1/2 Tbsp chopped apple pie filling.

In a mixing bowl, combine the streusel ingredients and press the mixture between your fingertips until it is no longer loose like flour. It will come together like a dough.

Divide the mixture evenly and put on top of the cinnamon rolls with the filling. Bake for 20–25 minutes, until golden brown. If you wish, you may drizzle the icing you had set aside over top of the warm cinnamon rolls.

Streusel Topping

  • 1/4 cup butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1/3 cup light brown sugar
  • Pinch of salt

Cook's Notes

Feel free to switch up the pie filling or try a few different ones.
