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
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
