Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 400°F. Lightly spray 8 regular-size muffin cups with cooking spray.
  • 2
    In 10-inch skillet, melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium-high heat. Add apples; cook about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons brown sugar, the cinnamon and salt. Cook 5 minutes longer or until tender. Stir in lemon juice.
  • 3
    Meanwhile, in small bowl, mix Topping ingredients with fork or hands until crumbly. Set aside.
  • 4
    Separate dough into 8 rolls. Flatten each into 4-inch round; place in muffin cup.
  • 5
    Divide Apple Filling evenly onto rolls in muffin cups. Divide Topping evenly over Filling.
  • 6
    Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until bubbly and tops are lightly browned. Cool slightly before removing from muffin cups. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
  • 7
    Serve cupcakes topped with whipped cream and a drizzle of syrup.

  • Take a shortcut and use canned apple pie filling.
  • Instead of whipped cream, top with ice cream or your favorite flavor of buttercream frosting.
