1. 1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. 2 Separate Hawaiian rolls and cut a 1/2-inch slit in the side of each one. Use a finger or the end of a spoon to create a larger opening and a space large enough to fill each roll with about 1 tablespoon filling.
3. 3 Roughly chop apple pie filling and add to a bowl. Stir in 1 packet apple cider mix. Spoon filling into the prepared rolls.
4. 4 Melt 4 tablespoons butter and brush each roll on all sides with melted butter. Place rolls on a lined baking sheet.
5. 5 Bake rolls in the preheated oven until lightly toasted and golden brown, 12 to 14 minutes.
6. 6 Meanwhile, stir together remaining apple cider packet, sugar, and cinnamon in a shallow dish and melt remaining butter.
7. 7 Brush tops of rolls evenly with melted butter and coat each roll in sugar mixture.
