Made with just four simple ingredients, this Oatmeal Creme Apple Pie dessert combines soft oatmeal creme pies, sweet apple pie filling, cinnamon, and a scoop of creamy vanilla ice cream.
The secret to this easy apple pie dessert is using an extra large muffin tin. Instead of preparing a traditional pie crust, each oatmeal creme pie goes directly into a muffin tin well, creating a simple base for the apple filling. Add a spoonful of cinnamon spiced apples, bake until warm, and finish with vanilla ice cream for the ultimate sweet treat.

Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Muffin Tin
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Set out an extra large muffin tin.
Place one oatmeal creme pie into each well. These will serve as the base for your individual apple pie desserts.
step 2: Add Apple Pie Filling
Spoon a generous spoonful of apple pie filling onto each oatmeal creme pie. Spread it gently over the center, keeping the filling mostly within the well.
Sprinkle a little ground cinnamon over the apples.
Step 3: bake
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 10-15 minutes at 350°F.
The muffin tin and apple filling will be hot, so allow them to cool enough to handle safely before removing the individual portions.
Step 4: Add Ice Cream
Once the oatmeal creme apple pies have cooled slightly, top each one with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Pro Tips
- Use an Extra Large Muffin Tin: This is the most important detail in the recipe. The larger wells give the oatmeal creme pies enough room for the apple topping and make it easier to remove each dessert after baking.
- Don't Overfill the Cookies: A generous spoonful of apple pie filling is all you need. Adding too much can make the desserts messy and harder to remove from the muffin tin.
- Customize Your Toppings: A drizzle of caramel sauce, a pinch of extra cinnamon, or a few chopped pecans can make this easy dessert feel extra special.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a regular muffin tin?
An extra large muffin tin is strongly recommended for this recipe because the oatmeal creme pies need enough space for the apple pie filling. Standard muffin wells may be too small to fit the cookies properly.
How do I keep the desserts from sticking to the muffin tin?
Lightly grease the wells before adding the oatmeal creme pies if needed. Allow the desserts to cool for a few minutes after baking, then carefully loosen the edges before removing them.
When should I add the vanilla ice cream?
Add the vanilla ice cream after baking and after the desserts have cooled slightly. This gives you the delicious contrast of warm cinnamon apples and cold, creamy ice cream.

This Oatmeal Creme Apple Pie is proof that a great dessert doesn't need a long ingredient list or hours in the kitchen. With soft oatmeal creme pies, sweet apple pie filling, a sprinkle of cinnamon, and vanilla ice cream, you can turn a few simple ingredients into a fun twist on classic apple pie.
