INSTRUCTIONS
preheat oven to 400F. lightly spray muffin or cupcake tin.
mix together butter, flour, brown sugar, walnuts, and baking chips. set aside
take out 1½ cups of apples from the filling container (i don't like a ton of the apple sauce that comes in the storebought filling containers...so i separated the apples as much as i could.) chop into small pieces. set aside
take each cinnamon roll and flatten into a thin disc. place each in a muffin cup. press them down firmly into each muffin/cupcake cup and try to bring them up the sides as much as possible. (see pic above)
place a spoonful of apple filling into each cup
top each with the brown sugar/walnut mixture
