Divide each thawed roll dough piece into 4 pieces. Roll each piece into a ball. Place 4 pieces of dough on bottom of muffin tin or liner. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of apple-sugar mixture. Place 4 more pieces of dough on top of sugar. Top again with 1 teaspoon of apple-sugar mixture. Drizzle 1 teaspoon of melted butter over the top. Continue with remaining pieces of dough.
