Ingredients

  • 12 frozen dinner rolls (such as Rhodes®)

  • cooking spray

  • ½ cup white sugar

  • ½ cup brown sugar

  • 3 tablespoons ground cinnamon

  • ¼ cup butter, melted

  • 2 apple - peeled, cored, and chopped

  • ¼ cup golden raisins

  • ½ cup cream cheese, at room temperature

  • ½ cup confectioners' sugar

  • 3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream, or more as needed

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

  1. Put frozen rolls on a baking sheet, spray a piece of plastic wrap with cooking spray and place over rolls. Let rise until doubled in size, about 3 hours.

  2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners.

  3. Mix white sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon together in a bowl. Place melted butter in a small bowl.

  4. Grab approximately 1 tablespoon of thawed and risen dough and roll into a ball. Dip the ball in the melted butter and roll in the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Repeat to fill each muffin liner with 3 buttered and sugared dough balls.

  5. Combine apples and raisins in a bowl. Sprinkle about 1 teaspoon apple-raisin mixture over each muffin.

  6. Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 25 minutes.

  7. Beat cream cheese, confectioners' sugar, whipping cream, and vanilla extract together in a bowl until glaze is smooth, 3 to 5 minutes. Drizzle glaze over muffins.

Cook's Notes:

When you are making the dough balls, stick any extra onto some of the muffins to make them larger.

If the glaze is too thick, add a bit more cream.
