These 2 ingredient apple pie monkey bread muffins are amazing! A quick breakfast or dessert that just takes 15 minutes to make. You’ve got to try them!
I must say when I made these apple pie monkey bread muffins as I call them I wasn’t quite sure if they would even turn out. A lot of what I try is an experiment but many times I am pleasantly surprised and may I say these are one of the most delicious things I’ve ever made! (originally published 4/17)
They are SO simple to make with just 2 ingredients and inexpensive too. They’d make a perfect weekend breakfast, dessert, or addition to any brunch too!
Since they are already portioned out they are easier to serve, and have that great apple pie flavor filled with cinnamon that we all love! (affiliate links present)
I say they are not just muffins but monkey bread too because you could easily throw out the forks and just eat with your hands since it pulls apart easily, and are fun to eat!
Here are the 2 things you will need to make apple pie monkey bread muffins
- 1 can apple pie filling (21 oz, could use other flavors) – or make your own apple pie filling
- 2 cans refrigerated cinnamon rolls (you will use the frosting that is included as well)
- 1 muffin pan of course
So easy right?!!
I love simple and something that only needs a few ingredients.
This is a really easy recipe you could whip up when you’ve forgotten you were supposed to bring something, and the ingredients could be kept in your house for a “just in case” dish….or make it a weekend breakfast treat that you know everyone will love but they’ll never know just how easy it is to make. 😉

Hello,
I am VERY excited to try your apple cinnamon monkey muffins, but just a little confused on your first step… You say cut each roll into 9 pieces..Do you mean each individual roll or the whole can? And how did you get 9 pieces instead of say 8 pieces?
thanks for clarifying.
The Typical Mom says
Oh sorry, yes small pcs. for each cinnamon roll so 6-9 pcs per cinnamon roll.
