# Preparation Steps:
01 -
Roll out pre-made dough on a lightly floured surface until approximately 1/4 inch thick. Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to slice the dough into rectangles or circles.
02 -
In a large bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes. Gently fold in diced apples, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
03 -
Place a generous spoonful of cheesecake filling in the center of each dough piece. Enclose filling by rolling the dough and pinch edges to seal tightly.
04 -
Combine flour, brown sugar, and cold cubed butter in a medium bowl. Mix until the texture is crumbly, then sprinkle the crumble evenly over each filled bun.
05 -
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, arrange buns evenly, and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
06 -
Whisk powdered sugar and milk in a bowl until the glaze is smooth and pourable.
07 -
Remove buns from oven and while warm, drizzle the glaze over each. Serve immediately while still warm.
