A FUN HANDHELD FALL TREAT
I love all things apple! My Butter Crumble Apple Pie is one of my favorite pies to make and these Easy Apple Pie Cups resemble that pie but in handheld form. With just a few ingredients (and just little time and effort!) this recipe comes together in no time. When fall comes around, I bust out out all of the apple recipes.

So if you are looking for a delicious dessert that is like Apple Pie (but without all the work) then you have to try this Easy Apple Pie Cup recipe!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
If you do not own a food processor, do not worry! You can make this without one. You can run a knife through the can to cut the apples into smaller bits or you can even dump the mixture into a bowl and use a potato masher. For an example of how I do this, check out my recipe for CRESCENT ROLL APPLE DANISHES.
If you can't find crescent dough sheets or just want to use regular crescent rolls, you can. Just make sure that you seal the perforations well.
If you want to add even more flavor to these, try sprinkling some ground cinnamon on top of the apple pie filling and/or add some cinnamon to the glaze! It is a really delicious contrast and works so well with the apple. You can add as little or as much as you'd like.
Absolutely! You will need to either use two muffin tins or make in batches.
Yes! If you have a favorite filling that you love and don't want to use canned, you can absolutely make your own.
You can place these apple pie cups in an airtight container at room temperature where they should stay good for up to 1-2 days. These can also be frozen. Place in freezer container and they will keep frozen for up to 2 months. Let defrost in the refrigerator. If you are going to freeze these, I would recommend doing it before adding the glaze.

INGREDIENTS NEEDED: (FULL RECIPE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE POST)
- canned apple pie filling
- granulated sugar
- all-purpose flour
- unsalted butter
- crescent roll dough sheet
- powdered sugar
- whole milk

HOW TO MAKE EASY APPLE PIE CUPS:
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Spray 8 sections of a muffin tin with baking spray, use a pastry brush and brush the baking spray around the cups to make sure they are evenly coated, set aside. Place the apple pie filling in a food processor.

Pulse 8 times or until roughly chopped, set aside.

Mix together the sugar and flour in a medium-sized bowl.

Add the butter and using your fingers or a pastry cutter, cut in the butter with the flour/sugar mixture until it resembles wet sand with a few larger pieces of butter mixed in no larger than peas, set aside.

Roll out the crescent dough on a clean work surface and cut it into 8 even sections. Gently press the dough into the sections of the muffin tin, making sure to overlap the corners.

Evenly distribute the pie filling among the dough.

Take the corners of the dough and fold them over themselves to form little cups.

Top with the crumble mixture evenly. Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown on top. Take them out of the cups and let them cool on a wire rack

While the cups cool, make the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar and whole milk until smooth. Start with 1 tablespoon of the milk, if the glaze is not pourable, add a little more milk until it is thick yet pourable.

Once the cups are cooled, drizzle with the glaze.

Let glaze set for a few minutes.

Serve and enjoy!
