Easy Apple Pie Cupcakes Recipe

Preheat the oven to 400°.

Lightly spray eight muffin cups with cooking spray.

Peel four small or two large tart apples and sprinkle them with lemon juice to prevent browning.

Chop the apples into cubes.

Melt two tablespoons of butter in a large pan over medium heat.

Add the chopped apples to the pan and cook for 5 minutes or until softened.

Stir in two tablespoons of brown sugar, a pinch of salt, and a half teaspoon of ground cinnamon.

Cook for an additional 5 minutes or until the apples are tender, then add the juice of half a lemon.

Remove the pan from heat and let the apple mixture cool.

Make the sugar topping by combining 1/4 cup of flour and 1/4 cup of brown sugar in a bowl.

Chop 1/4 cup of nuts and add them to the bowl.

Cut 2 tablespoons of butter into cubes and add them to the mixture.

Use your fingers or a fork to combine the topping until crumbly.

Open a can of cinnamon rolls and separate the dough into eight rolls.

Flatten each roll into a 4-inch round.

Place each flattened roll into the muffin cups.

Divide the apple filling evenly between each muffin cup.

Sprinkle the apples with the sugar topping, pressing down lightly.

Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until bubbly and the tops are lightly brown.

Let the cupcakes cool after baking.

Top the cupcakes with whipped cream and caramel sauce before serving.
