We just can’t get enough of recipes incorporating cinnamon, apple, and all the best autumn tastes. So we were excited to find this treat that uses an actual cinnamon bun for a super-clever purpose. The folks at Inspired Taste call these cupcakes, but we think they’re more like miniature apple pies. Either way, they’re delicious, and as you’ll see, surprisingly easy to make!

You’ll Need

– 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
– 2 large Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and diced into 1/4-inch cubes
– 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
– 1/8 teaspoon salt
– Juice of half lemon (about 1 1/2 tablespoons)
– 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
– 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
– 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
– One 12.4 ounce can Pillsbury refrigerated cinnamon rolls
– Whipped cream
– Caramel-flavored syrup

We can’t wait to try these little treats. Do you feel the same? Then head on over to Inspired Taste for your printable recipe and get baking. What do you think of it? Do you think there’s a way to make the “crust” homemade?
