Step-by-Step Instructions for Easy Apple Pie Cupcakes
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C) and spray your muffin tin with cooking spray.
  2. Flatten each piece of cinnamon roll dough into a circle about 4 inches wide and place it in the muffin tin.
  3. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet, add diced apples and cook for about 5 minutes. Then add sugar, cinnamon, salt, and lemon juice and cook until tender.
  4. Combine flour, brown sugar, and chopped nuts in a bowl. Cut in remaining butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  5. Fill each muffin cup with the apple mixture and sprinkle the crumble topping over each one.
