Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can (13 oz) Pillsbury refrigerated cinnamon rolls with icing
- 3 medium Golden Delicious apples (cored and diced)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- Pinch of salt
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Instructions
- Prepare the apple pie filling by melting butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add diced apples and cook for about 5 minutes. Stir in brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and lemon juice. Cook until apples are tender (about another 5 minutes). Remove from heat.

- Spoon the apple filling into each cinnamon roll shell. Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
- Let cool slightly before transferring to a cooling rack. Drizzle warmed icing over each cup before serving.
