FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
Yes! This is a great thing to make ahead of time, but truly, it doesn’t take much time to toss together in the first place. You could make these the night before and just reheat in the morning when ready to serve. You may have to add on a couple of extra minutes since everything (including the muffin tin) will be cold.
For sure, using homemade pie filling is definitely an option. If you haven’t tried my Homemade Blueberry Pie Filling yet, now is the time to make a batch for these Cinnamon Roll Cups. I think Peach Pie Filling would be delicious too!
Certainly. I think these would be incredible with apple pie filling, strawberry pie filling or cherry pie filling. YUM! Any fruit flavored pie filling should work.
Yes, you can easily double this recipe.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
Yes! Great idea to make an extra batch and freeze them for later. Once the cups have cooled, transfer them to an airtight container or freezer safe bag and freeze for up to 3 months.
INGREDIENTS NEEDED: (SEE RECIPE CARD BELOW FOR THE FULL RECIPE)
- refrigerated cinnamon rolls with icing – You want to look for the cinnamon rolls that don’t unroll. They are just like flat biscuits (see my images below.) You also want to make sure there are 8 in the can. This recipe doesn’t work with the Grands cinnamon rolls as they are too big and they also unroll and don’t work well in muffin tins.
- blueberry pie filling– more options are shared in the FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) section above. You can even use homemade blueberry pie filling.
HOW TO MAKE BLUEBERRY CINNAMON ROLL CUPS
Preheat oven to 375F and grease a muffin tin tray. Unroll your cinnamon rolls from the cans and reserve the icing packets. Separate and place each roll into the bottom of 8 muffin tins. Press the cinnamon roll down to form a mini cup shape. Scoop a couple Tablespoons of blueberry pie filling into each cinnamon roll cup. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until the rolls are cooked through. They should be golden brown all over. Carefully lift one up and check the bottoms to make sure it’s not still gooey and uncooked.
Allow the cups to cool slightly before drizzling the reserved icing over the top. Serve, enjoy!

Super duper good
I’m slightly confused. You say too use cinnamon rolls that DON’T unroll, but the picture is of a can of ones that do.
Nope, these aren’t the kind that unroll. You might be thinking of the larger Grands ones. You can use the kind that unroll, just makes it easier a bit if you get the kind that don’t.
