- 1/2 cup of shredded cheese

Grease lightly your muffin tin. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Wrap bacon strips around the inside of cups so that they’re lining the walls.

2. Mini apple pie
I love everything sweet and my hubby hates anything sweet, and every time when I bake confectionery delights I end up eating the whole thing. That’s why I always make a mini-version of everything, using the muffin tin, since these sweet treats are the perfect size for me!
- Cuisine: American;
- Category: Breakfast;
- Serves: 4-6;
- Prep Time:15 min;

Ingredients:
- 2 or 3 apples
- Store bought or homemade pie crust dough
- 1/4 cup of brown sugar
- 1/4 cup of sugar
- 1/2 tsp. of nutmeg
- 1 tsp. of cinnamon
- 1 tbs. of flour
- Pinch of salt
- 1 tsp. of vanilla extract
Directions:
Peel and chop or dice 2 or 3 apples. Mix together brown sugar, sugar, cinnamon, salt, flour, nutmeg, and vanilla extract. Add to your chopped apples, and then stir until they’re well coated. Now lay the pie crust dough flat.
Take a cookie cutter or a cup to cut circles in the dough to fill the muffin tin cups. Put into ungreased tin, remove excess from the top, poke holes in the bottoms with a fork and fill with apple mixture.
Take the leftover scraps of dough, cut thin strips and put them over the top of the mini pie so that you could create a lattice work crust. Bake the cupcake tin for about 35-40 minutes at 375 degrees or until they brown on the top.

4. Cookie bowls
Do you know that muffin tin recipes can be made outside the tin as well? Try this cookie bowl recipe. It’s such a delicious and fun way to do something more creative with your food! However, you can’t make these with each type of cookie dough. You should take the firm dough to use the cookie cutters on it.

Heat your oven to 350 degrees. Turn muffin tin upside down, spray them with non-stick spray. Take a medium bowl and combine salt and flour.
Take a large bowl and beat sugar and butter with an electric mixer until fluffy and light. Beat in one egg and almond and vanilla extracts. 1 cup at a time, add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, mixing after every addition.
Roll out dough on floured surface, cut circles from dough and lay over every up-ended cup in the tin. Bake until golden brown (11-13 minutes). Allow to cool and remove bowls from the tin using a knife or spatula. Fill with anything you want and enjoy!

6. Mini meatloaves
This is another tasty muffin tin recipe to try! When meatloaf is made in muffin tins, it comes out crisp on the outside and delicious and juicy on the inside!
- Cuisine: American;

- Prep Time:15 min;
- Cook time:30 min;

Ingredients:
For meatloaf:
- 1 1/2 lb. meatloaf mix (veal, beef, pork)

- 2 tbs. of yellow mustard
- 1/4 – 1/2 cup of brown sugar
- 1/4 cup of BBQ sauce
Directions:
Combine all of meatloaf ingredients in a large bowl. The sautéed onions and mushrooms must be tender before you add them to the meatloaf mixture. If you’re not using nonstick muffin pans, then grease the inside, and fill every cup ¾ of the way with the mixture.
Take a small bowl, combine all ingredients for the glaze. Brown sugar should be added last and added enough so that it becomes thick. Spoon a good amount of glaze onto mini meatloaves. Bake for 30 minutes in a 375 degree.
