  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: Makes approximately 8 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup granulated sugar (for coating)
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon (for coating)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the apple filling by melting butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add diced apples, sugar, and cinnamon. Cook for 4-5 minutes until apples soften. Mix cornstarch with water to create a slurry; add it to the apple mixture and cook for another 1-2 minutes until thickened. Let cool slightly.
  2. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. Separate biscuit dough into individual biscuits and flatten each one to about 1/4 inch thick.
  4. Place a tablespoon of cooled apple filling in the center of each biscuit. Fold edges over filling, pinching tightly to seal.
  5. Dip each ball into melted butter, then roll in a mixture of sugar and cinnamon before placing seam-side down on the baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Allow cooling for a few minutes before serving warm.
