1/8 teaspoon salt
Juice of half lemon (about 1 1/2 tablespoons)

1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup chopped walnuts

Steps

1

Heat oven to 400°F. Lightly spray 8 regular-size muffin cups with cooking spray.
2

In 10-inch skillet, melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium-high heat. Add apples; cook about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons brown sugar, the cinnamon and salt. Cook 5 minutes longer or until tender. Stir in lemon juice.
3

Meanwhile, in small bowl, mix Topping ingredients with fork or hands until crumbly. Set aside.
4

Separate dough into 8 rolls. Flatten each into 4-inch round; place in muffin cup.
5

Divide Apple Filling evenly onto rolls in muffin cups. Divide Topping evenly over Filling.
6

Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until bubbly and tops are lightly browned. Cool slightly before removing from muffin cups. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
7

Serve cupcakes topped with whipped cream and a drizzle of syrup.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

tip 1
Take a shortcut and use canned apple pie filling.
tip 2
Instead of whipped cream, top with ice cream or your favorite flavor of buttercream frosting.
