Air Fryer Apple Pie Cinnamon Roll Cups
Description
Air Fryer Apple Pie Cinnamon Roll Cups turn refrigerated cinnamon rolls and fresh cinnamon-spiced apples into warm, gooey breakfast cups in under 20 minutes. They're an easy, kid-approved air fryer breakfast that tastes like a cross between a cinnamon roll and a mini apple pie.
Ingredients
- 1 package refrigerated cinnamon rolls, with cream cheese frosting
- 2 large apples, peeled and diced
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons butter, unsalted
Instructions
- In a small skillet, combine the diced apples, butter, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon. Cook over a low simmer for 4–6 minutes, until the apples soften.
- Grease a muffin tin (or use ramekins). Press one cinnamon roll into each cup, pushing the dough up the sides to form a well.
- Spoon the cooked apple mixture into each well. Place the pan in the air fryer basket and cook at 320°F for 5–7 minutes, until golden and cooked through.
- Let cool slightly, then drizzle with the icing from the cinnamon roll package. Plate, serve, and enjoy!
Equipment
- Cooking Spray
- Muffin Pan, or Muffin Tin
Notes
- Best apples: Honeycrisp, Granny Smith, Braeburn, or Pink Lady.
- Shortcut: Use canned apple pie filling instead of fresh apples.
- Oven method: Bake at 350°F for about 13–17 minutes.
- Storage: Airtight container in the fridge up to 3 days; freeze un-iced up to 2 months.
- Reheat: Air fry at 320°F for 2–3 minutes or microwave 15–20 seconds.
- Don't overfill — the dough puffs as it cooks.
