Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Roll out the pre-made dough on a lightly floured surface until about ¼ inch thick. Cut into rectangles or circles.
  2. In a mixing bowl, beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Fold in the diced apples, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  3. Spoon a generous amount of filling into the center of each dough piece and seal tightly.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine flour and brown sugar, add cold butter cubes, and mix until crumbly. Sprinkle over each bun.
  5. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
  6. Whisk together powdered sugar and milk until smooth for the glaze. Drizzle over slightly cooled buns.
