How to Make Baked Maple Apple Pie Cups
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and spray an 8-cup muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray.
- Unroll 8 crescent roll triangles. Press each into a cup of the muffin tin, ensuring the dough goes up the sides and creating a sealed crust.
- Peel and chop 2 medium apples (about 2 cups) into small pieces.
- In a medium bowl, combine the chopped apples with 1/4 cup packed brown sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 2 tablespoons maple syrup, 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour, and a pinch of sea salt. Mix well.
- Evenly spoon the apple mixture into the prepared crescent roll cups.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crescent roll is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Let cool slightly in the muffin tin before carefully removing. Serve warm, drizzled with extra maple syrup, if desired.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
