Nothing This Easy Should Taste So Good But They Do
Everyone needs a rabbit to pull out of their hat sometimes. This unbelievably good little 2 ingredient dessert is one! I was skeptical when I saw this recipe, but one bite made a believer out of me, and they couldn’t be easier to make!
When your kids bring home a friend for dinner or company stops in at mealtime unexpectedly, this is a wonderful trick to have up your sleeve! All you need are a tube of eight refrigerated cinnamon rolls with icing and a can of apple pie filling! No kidding!
Turn on your oven to 375 degrees because it won’t take long to put this 2 ingredient dessert together!
Grab a couple of muffin pans and spray eight spots in them with non-stick cooking spray. My wonderful old Norpro muffin tins are old enough to vote, but they have developed a wonderful patina from years of use, and they bake beautifully! Today’s Norpro muffin pans are even better than when I got mine back in the 1980s!
Here’s How To Make A Wonderful 2 Ingredient Dessert
Separate the cinnamon rolls and set the icing aside. Put one cinnamon roll in each of the eight cups and use your fingers or the back of a spoon to press them into the cup and bring the sides up to form a little cinnamon roll dough bowl.
Now spoon the apple pie filling evenly into the eight spots in the pan. I suggest you cut the apple slices in the filling into smaller bite-size pieces, so they fit better. I did this with my kitchen scissors right in the can.
Now, pop those muffin tins into the oven and set the timer for 15 minutes. If the rolls don’t seem quite done (I used a cake tester), leave them in for another three minutes or so then set the pans on a rack to cool. Use the tip of a knife to slide around the edge of each little apple pie and move them onto the rack to cool the rest of the way.
When the little apple pies are cool, drizzle the yummy vanilla icing that comes in the tube evenly over each little pie. Put a cookie sheet, cutting board, or mat under the rack for easy cleanup!
Aren’t they just the cutest little 2 ingredient dessert? I think they’d also make a wonderful little breakfast pastry! They are so easy to make; the kids would love to help!
Pillsbury also makes refrigerated orange sweet rolls in a tube with cinnamon icing! That would be another fun one to try with peach or cherry pie filling!
