For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg or cardamom to the cinnamon-sugar mixture. If you don't have golden raisins, regular raisins or dried cranberries will work well. Store leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.

Follow The Directions
01
StepAllow frozen rolls to thaw and rise: Place the frozen rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Lightly spray a piece of plastic wrap with cooking spray and cover the rolls. Let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, approximately 2-3 hours.
02
StepPreheat oven and prepare muffin tin: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
03
StepPrepare cinnamon-sugar mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Set aside. Place the melted butter in a separate small bowl.
04
StepAssemble the muffins: Take approximately 1 tablespoon of the thawed and risen dough and gently roll it into a ball. Dip the dough ball into the melted butter, then roll it in the cinnamon-sugar mixture, ensuring it's evenly coated. Place three of these buttered and sugared dough balls into each muffin liner.
05
StepAdd apple-raisin filling: In a small bowl, combine the diced apples and golden raisins. Sprinkle about 1 teaspoon of the apple-raisin mixture over the dough balls in each muffin liner.
06
StepBake the muffins: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and cooked through. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
07
StepPrepare cream cheese glaze: While the muffins are baking, prepare the glaze. In a medium bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, confectioners' sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla extract until the glaze is smooth and creamy. Add more heavy cream, 1 tablespoon at a time, if needed to reach your desired consistency.
08
StepGlaze and serve: Once the muffins have cooled slightly, drizzle the cream cheese glaze generously over the top of each muffin. Serve warm and enjoy!
