Ingredients
Scale
- 2 packs Pillsbury Grands cinnamon rolls (5 count each)
- Butter for greasing muffin tin
- 4 large apples (2 Honeycrisp and 2 Granny Smith)
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 2 tbsp cornstarch dissolved in 3 tbsp water
- 5 tbsp butter (partially melted) for streusel topping
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup melted butter for icing
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp milk
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 1/2–1 tsp cinnamon (based on preference)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Use softened butter to grease each muffin cup.
- Press cinnamon rolls into each muffin cup, spreading them up the sides to create a cavity for the apple filling.
- Peel apples, slice them thin, and dice into 1″ pieces.
- Mix apples with remaining filling ingredients in a medium bowl and heat until the brown sugar syrup thickens and apples soften, about 2 minutes.
- Use a slotted spoon to scoop mixture, straining some syrup, and fill the cinnamon roll cavity up to the top.
- Mix streusel topping ingredients in a bowl until it comes together in big crumbs and mound them on top of the apple filling.
- Bake for 15 minutes, covering loosely with foil for the first 5 minutes and rotating the pan halfway through.
- As it bakes, whisk icing ingredients until smooth.
- Let the rolls cool for 5-10 minutes, then drizzle icing over the tops and enjoy!
Notes
- For best results, use fresh apples for the filling.
- Adjust cinnamon in the icing to taste.
- The rolls are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for 1-2 days.
