Apple Cinnamon Roll Cupcakes

Fall baking season finally starts!!!  That means a lot of baked goods with pumpkin and apples. If you ask me, I always prefer apple over pumpkin desserts although I love me some Custard Cake year round!

Actually I could not wait September and the official start of fall baking season. So I’ve already shared a few fall dessert recipes with apples and pumpkin. You’ve probably noticed that all of these recipes use refrigerated crescent rolls or cinnamon rolls. Notwithstanding that premade dough save time in kitchen, all of this recipes are equally good for dessert but for breakfast, too.

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 F. Line cupcake pan with paper liners and set aside. You’ll have 8 rolls.
2. On a sheet of parchment paper unroll crescent dough sheet. If using crescent rolls, seal the perforation to make large rectangle. Brush the dough with about 2 Tbsp. melted butter (reserve remaining butter for later use).
3. Stir together cinnamon and sugar and sprinkle over melted butter. Scatter diced apples on top.
4. Beginning on the long side of the rectangle, roll the dough into a log.
5. Slice the log in 8 (1 ½ inch)pieces. Arrange pieces in paper liners.
6. Brush the top with melted butter and bake until golden brown (about 15min). If it starts browning too quickly, tent the top with aluminum foil.
7. Stir together glaze ingredients and spoon over slightly cooled cupcakes.
