Baked Maple Apple Pie Cups

Remember that one time when I made pecan baklava cups?

I’ve since become a girl obsessed.  Obsessed with making things in cups fashioned out of good old fashioned crescent dough.  Obsessed with the 15-minute wonders that pop out of the oven when they’re done.  Obsessed with the burned mouths that immediately follow due to a lack of self-control.

 

OK, maybe not obsessed with the burned mouth part.  Although I’ve made noises that my dogs have never heard before and apologized to them and the baby for the sailor mouth that comes out from the pain.  Oops.

See, I kind of equate this new-found love of crescent cup arts (makes it sound fancy, right?!) to becoming your own Sandra Lee, although you can’t really ruin a perfectly good recipe with it.  Not that I’m saying she’s done that, but…well, yes I am.  Sweet as she may be there’s many a recipe ruined by the semi-homemade approach.

 

But I challenge you – make these “pies”, burn your mouth, and tell me it wasn’t worth it.

BAKED MAPLE APPLE PIE CUPS

  • 1 packages crescent dough
  • 2 apples of your choice (I don’t recall which ones I used, although I will say that Granny Smith tend to be my favorite for pie)
  • 1 Tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 Tbsp maple syrup, plus more for drizzling
  • 1 Tbsp flour
  • pinch of sea salt

Preheat your oven to 375 and spray 8 cups in a muffin pan with nonstick spray.  Taking each crescent roll, press into the cup shape of the muffin cups and make sure that you get the dough up the sides as well.  It’s important to get all of the edges sealed in there!  Peel and chop the apples into small pieces and mix with the brown sugar, cinnamon, maple syrup, flour and sea salt.  Spoon equal amounts into the cups.  Bake for 15 minutes at 375 until the edges are browned.  Serve hot with a little more maple syrup drizzled on top…maybe with a little ice cream.  You know, get wild with it!

I’m telling you guys, obsession never tasted so good!

    I actually just made these so that instead of the puff pastry, you cored an apple and used that as the cup! I also replaced the flour with oats and added some nutmeg. They needed to bake a about the same amount of time but they were delicious and could definitely make a yummy breakfast!

    MMmmm……This sounds amazing. I’m not a big fan of pies so using crescent dough sounds perfect. Have you tried making it with caramel on top? I’m a sucker for apples and caramel. Or even a little bit of sugar in the raw on top with the big pieces of crunchy sugar. I just finished my lunch and you have succeeded in making my tummy growl again. Thanks for the delicious dessert idea for this evening!!

    as much as I love making homemade puff pastry, I use it way too often to make it myself EVERY time.

    please tell me this does not make me a Sandra Lee? 😉

    This sounds way too easy- I am obsessed with maple so the ability to make any maple dessert this easily is dangerous!!

    I made apple hand pies with puff pastry the other day that I just posted today. We’re almost post twins 😉 Nothing to be ashamed of with crescent dough or puff pastry…they make things so easy!
