Unwrap the cinnamon roll dough and separate the rolls. Using a rolling pin, flatten each roll into a thin disc.
Press each flattened dough disc into a cup of a muffin tin, forming a small crust. Ensure there are no cracks or holes.
Spoon apple pie filling into each cinnamon roll cup.
To make the streusel, combine flour, ground cinnamon, and sugar in a medium bowl.
Add the cold, cubed salted butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry blender or your fingers, cut the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle a generous amount of the streusel topping over each muffin.
Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and cooked through.
Let the muffins cool slightly in the pan before removing.
Serve warm, optionally topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of the icing that came with the cinnamon rolls.
Store cooled muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days; reheat gently in a 300°F oven for 5–8 minutes before serving.

Use a well-greased or lined muffin tin. The cinnamon roll dough can stick during baking, so greasing is essential.
Bake and cool completely, then store in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a 300°F oven before serving with icing and ice cream.
You can use canned cherries, peaches, or make a quick apple filling by cooking diced apples with cinnamon and sugar, though results will vary slightly.
Yes, the included icing is designed for the dough and complements the apple and streusel flavors. Drizzle it over warm muffins before or after serving.
