Ingredients
Scale
- 1 medium apple, small diced
- 3 Tbsp. unsalted butter, melted (divided)
- 1 (8 oz.) tube of refrigerated crescent rolls or crescent dough sheet
- Cinnamon, to taste (about 3/4 teaspoon)
- 1/3 cup sugar (half light brown sugar and half white granulated sugar)
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 Tbsp. milk, or more to reach desired consistency
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a cupcake pan with paper liners and set aside.
- On a sheet of parchment paper, unroll the crescent dough sheet. If using crescent rolls, seal the perforations to make a large rectangle. Brush the dough with about 2 Tbsp. melted butter. Stir together the cinnamon and sugar, then sprinkle over the melted butter. Scatter the diced apples on top.
- Starting from the long side of the rectangle, roll the dough into a log. Slice the log into 8 (1 ½ inch) pieces. Arrange the pieces in the prepared cupcake liners.
- Brush the tops with the remaining melted butter and bake until golden brown, about 15 minutes. If they start browning too quickly, tent the top with aluminum foil.
- While the cupcakes are baking, stir together the glaze ingredients. Spoon the glaze over the slightly cooled cupcakes.
- Enjoy your delicious Apple Cinnamon Roll Cupcakes!
