Apple Pie Muffins
Apple Pie Muffins only uses 2 ingredients – 3 if you like nuts – a can of refrigerated cinnamon rolls, and a can of apple pie filling. This would also be delicious with cherry or blueberry pie filling. I added chopped pecans, but you could use walnuts, almonds, or any other chopped nuts if you wanted. Roll or press each cinnamon roll into a circle. Press the circle into a greased muffin cup. Then fill it with the apple pie filling. Place it uncovered into a hot solar oven and bake until the cinnamon roll is done, about an hour in a 300°F (149°C) – 350°F (177°C) oven.
