12 Rhodes dinner rolls, thawed but still cold
3 Granny Smith apples, peeled cored and finely chopped
3/4 cup chopped pecans
6 tbsp. brown sugar
1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
3/4 tsp. nutmeg

Spray counter lightly with non-stick cooking spray (Pam). Flatten each roll into a 5-inch circle.

Combine apples, pecans, brown sugar, spices and butter. Place about 2 tablespoons of apple mixture in the center of each dough circle. Carefully place a dough circle with apple mixture on it into each cup of a sprayed muffin pan. Cover with sprayed Saran or plastic wrap and let rise for 30 to 45 minutes.

Remove wrap and bake at 350°F for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pan to cool slightly and frost.
