Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F. Spray 8 muffin tins with cooking spray or lightly grease with butter. No cupcake liners for this recipe!
Open package according to directions and divide 8 cinnamon rolls. (set aside the icing. We’ll use it later). Place cinnamon roll in the palm of cleans hands and press down lightly to flatten.
Place each piece cinnamon roll in the bottom of prepared muffin cups and press the into the muffin cups and up the sides.
Spoon 2 heaping tablespoons of apple pie filling into the bottom of the dough-lined cups. The apple pie filling that I used was quite chunky and I cut a few of the pieces into smaller chunks.
In a small bowl, combine coarsely chopped pecans with brown sugar. Sprinkle pecan mixture over top of the apple pie filling.
Bake in 375°F oven for 15 to 18 minutes in preheated oven. Edges will be light golden brown.
Heat icing in microwave in a small microwave-safe bowl for about 5 seconds, then drizzle over each apple pie cup.
Serve warm, either plain or with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Notes

Storage in airtight container at room temperature for up to two days for optimal freshness.
