This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at Binghamton chapter.

Ah, October. A month filled with fall festivities, apple picking, pumpkin patches, and tons of schoolwork. It’s the perfect time to visit your local apple orchards—if you can find the time.

If you’ve found the time to go apple picking, chances are you’re stuck with a bunch of apples. Unfortunately, with midterms right around the corner, there’s barely enough time to eat the apples, let alone bake with them. 

Well, good news. Here are two affordable recipes that will save you time and money (and bless your tastebuds).

Apple Cinnabon Muffins

Difficulty:BeginnerPrep time: 20 minutesCook time: 20 minutesTotal time: 40 minutesServings:12 servings

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Kayla Jimenez

    Cut the apples and the cinnamon roll dough into small cubes and put aside.

  2. Preheat oven to 375°.

  3. Kayla Jimenez

    Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Once melted, add the cubed apples and the brown sugar, and stir.

  4. Kayla Jimenez

    Once the mixture starts to bubble, reduce heat to a simmer. Let simmer while doing the next step.

  5. While the apples, brown sugar, and butter simmer, whisk the eggs, milk, cinnamon, and vanilla extract in a bowl.

  6. Kayla Jimenez

    Add the cubed cinnamon roll dough into a greased muffin pan. Remove apple mixture from heat and spoon the mixture on top of the Cinnabon dough. Pour the whisked eggs, milk, cinnamon, and vanilla extract into each muffin tin. Leave a little room for the muffins to rise.

  7. Kayla Jimenez

    Place muffin pan in oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.

  8. Kayla Jimenez

    Remove from oven and drizzle the icing (from the can of cinnamon rolls) on each muffin if you so wish. Let cool. Remove from tin and enjoy!
