Cinnamon Apple Pie Cups – Easy and Fun Treats

You might actually be able to help us solve a simple debate about this apple pie treats that we have going on in our house. Are they a breakfast food or a dessert or is there a way to classify them as both? I tend to think of them as a delicious breakfast recipe but the kids are adamant that they’re more like a dessert. (Honestly, I’ll eat them any time of the day but it’s just fun to see what others classify this tasty treat as!) 

Can you use real apples for this simple apple recipe?

You totally can. If you want to slice up real apples and use them instead of canned apple pie filling, go for it. I’m sure it would have an amazing taste and flavor and be a hit! 

I simply use the apple pie filling because it cuts down on a lot of time and effort and really does taste amazing, too. Either way is totally a win-win. 

What other toppings can you add to these cinnamon apple pie cups? 

If you’re looking for something else to add as a topping rather than the glaze from the cinnamon rolls, you can try so many other toppings. Whipped cream, cinnamon and sugar, and even a small scoop of ice cream are always a good choice! Change it up each time to change up the taste easily, too! 

If you’re looking for a super simple dessert (or breakfast!) that is ready in less than 15 minutes of time, get ready to fall in love with the ease of these Cinnamon Apple Pie Cups!
