Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Roll out the pre-made dough on a lightly floured surface until it's about ¼ inch thick.
  2. Cut the dough into rectangles or circles, ensuring edges are well-defined.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Fold in the diced apples, cinnamon, and nutmeg to create the filling.
  5. Place a generous spoonful of the cheesecake filling in the center of each dough piece.
  6. Carefully fold or roll the dough to encase the filling and pinch edges tightly to seal.
  7. Combine all-purpose flour, brown sugar, and cubed cold butter in a medium bowl.
  8. Mix until crumbly with a fork or fingers.
  9. Sprinkle the crumble mixture over each filled bun and preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  10. Bake the buns on a lined baking sheet for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
  11. Whisk together powdered sugar and milk to make the sweet glaze during baking.
  12. Drizzle the glaze over the buns once out of the oven.
