Orr’s Favorite Fall Treats

Bakers don’t need a reason (or a season) to bake, but fall brings out a special zest for all things sweet. The fall is the peak season for harvesting apples, pears, and pumpkins, while the cool, crisp air allows for those sweet treats to cool off quickly. Here are a few of our favorite recipes if you’re ready to enjoy fall flavors even if you are a budding baker.

Two-Ingredient Apple Pie Cups

A new spin on a classic favorite, these apple pie cups are sure to bring a smile to everyone who takes a bite! These cups take no time to make, are 100% vegetarian, and are easy to share with the whole family. Bring them to your next big family get-together if you want to be the star of the show.

What you’ll need:

  • 1 can of Pillsbury refrigerated flaky cinnamon rolls with buttercream icing
  • 1 1/3 cups of apples for filling, coarsely chopped

Steps:

  1. Heat oven to 375°F. Spray 8 regular-size muffin cups with cooking spray. Set icing aside. Separate dough into 8 rolls. Press into and up sides of muffin cups.
  2. Spoon two generous tablespoons of apples into each cup, filling into each dough lining.
  3. Bake 14-18 minutes or until golden brown. Allow to cool in pan for 5 minutes.
  4. Transfer icing to small microwavable bowl. Microwave uncovered on low (10%) 8-10 seconds or until thin enough to drizzle. Place rolls on serving plate, spoon icing over rolls. Serve warm.
