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? 😉

    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!

Just two gals who crushed a 50 minute run today! Just two gals who crushed a 50 minute run today! 

As we move into goal setting for the new year, may I suggest starting with your physical health? Not to fit the bikini body mold that society normalizes, but to actually BE as healthy as possible. When everything hit the fan for me this year I dug into two things that have been integral to creating positive growth and a healthier mindset: 

1️⃣ my relationship with God
2️⃣ my physical health

What that’s looked like for me on the health front: holding fast to my commitment to whole food nutrition, grace for the days when I choose otherwise, pushing myself to lift heavier in workouts, and taking up running again. 

What’s happened as a result? When I push myself physically, when I choose to practice discipline to do what I know is best for my body, it makes it infinitely easier to choose that same healthy discipline in every other area of life. You want to dominate your goals? Start with your health!
Remember when I blogged about food? 😂 Gosh the Remember when I blogged about  food? 😂 Gosh the past few months have been nuts. I’m still over here figuring out how to eat well without sacrificing my life in the kitchen, and this is a bowl I couldn’t NOT share with y’all. The best thing is that everything is almost always on hand in my fridge, it’s packed with nutrition, and tastes AMAZING!

In the bowl:
-rice mixed with Trader Joe’s Zhoug sauce
-broiled shredded Brussels sprouts
-chickpeas
-baby  arugula
-grilled chicken breast
-Romesco sauce (from Trader  Joe’s but I usually make my own)
-a little  tzaziki sauce

This meal has been on repeat all week, only changing the rice for riced cauliflower and omitting the chickpeas on low carb days. YUM! I find that if I have a variety of roasted veggies, grilled chicken, and a few different sauces on hand I can almost always come up with a great bowl for almost any meal!
It’s a beautiful day for Small Business Saturday It’s a beautiful day for Small Business Saturday y’all! Almost 4 years ago I took a leap of faith and said yes to this job in an effort to create another stream of revenue. I had NO CLUE that it would change my life for the better in almost every way, that it would reignite my passion for health and community, that it would provide in so many beautiful ways. But it has, and I am so thankful to all of you who have trusted me and supported me along the way. 

When you shop with a small business you are literally a hero in their eyes, validating and supporting and protecting them. You guys are my heroes, and I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️

3 things you can do RIGHT NOW to improve your day: 3 things you can do RIGHT NOW to improve your day:

1️⃣ SMILE! Even if you don’t feel like it, smiling (even forcing it to the point of feeling weird) has actually been scientifically proven to improve mood, lower stress, and boost your immune system. I actually recommend doing it awkwardly around other people because it’ll make them smile too 😉

2️⃣ GRATITUDE! Right now, before you talk yourself out of it, say or write 3 things you’re thankful for. Big, small, or in between. In this moment I’m going to say sticky notes, my Le Creuset Dutch Oven, and the Hamilton soundtrack. BOOM!

3️⃣MOVE! Get up off your tush, right now, and move your body. Walk around your house, do some jumping jacks, lock yourself in the bathroom and do a little dance, whatever. This isn’t about looking cool, it’s about giving yourself a better day. 

Things are hard, ambiguity and uncertainty isn’t fun, but we can control ONE THING: ourselves. Praying that you choose to gift yourself a little bit of happiness today! 

Now, tell me below, what’s one thing you’re thankful for RIGHT NOW?
