Ingredients
Scale:
2 cans (16.5 oz each) refrigerated cinnamon rolls
1/4 cup melted butter (unsalted)
4 cups peeled and diced apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/2 cup caramel sauce
1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Open the cans of refrigerated cinnamon rolls. Separate the rolls and cut each one into quarters.
Use cooking spray or brush melted butter into a standard 12-cup muffin tin.
Place 3-4 pieces of the cinnamon roll dough in each muffin cup, pressing them into a cup shape.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced apples, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Stir until evenly coated.
Spoon the cinnamon apple filling into each cinnamon roll cup.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let it cool for about 5 minutes.
Carefully remove the cups from the muffin tin and drizzle with caramel sauce. Top with chopped pecans or walnuts, if desired.
