These Cinnamon Roll Apple Pie Cups are a delightful fusion of two classic desserts. They feature a spiced apple filling baked in a flaky crust, topped with a swirl of cinnamon. Perfect for a quick treat or a festive gathering.
Ingredients
- 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent rolls
- 1 cup diced apples (about 1 medium apple)

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a muffin tin.

- In a small bowl, combine diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and butter.
- Spoon the apple mixture evenly into the crescent roll cups.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender.
- Let the cups cool slightly in the muffin tin before removing.

Notes
