These Apple Pie Cinnamon Rolls are a delightful twist on classic cinnamon rolls—filled with warm, tender apple pieces and fall spices, all nestled in soft biscuit dough and finished with a sweet glaze.

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, divided

2 medium Granny Smith apples, peeled and diced small

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Spray a 12-cup muffin pan with nonstick baking spray.
Remove biscuits from packaging and place on a parchment-lined or nonstick surface. Roll each to about 3 inches in diameter.
Sprinkle 1½ teaspoons of cinnamon over both sides of all the biscuit rounds.
Press each round into the prepared muffin cups to form dough cups. Bake for 6–8 minutes until golden and base is cooked.
Quickly press the center of each with a shot glass to reinforce the cup shape, then set aside to cool slightly.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook diced apples with granulated sugar, brown sugar, and lemon juice until sugars dissolve.
Stir in the remaining cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Sprinkle in flour and cook for 1–2 minutes until thickened.
Spoon the apple mixture evenly into each biscuit cup.
In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar and milk until smooth. Spoon or pipe glaze over the filled rolls.
Serve warm and enjoy.

Notes

Swap biscuit dough with cinnamon roll dough for a sweeter version.
Use canned apple pie filling for convenience—chop apples smaller for best fit.
Stir almond extract into the glaze for a flavor twist.
Add chopped walnuts or pecans for crunch.
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in microwave or oven.
