Apple Crowns

The filling on these was yummy, but there are a few issues. One - when you bundle them up, you get all this dough at the bottom and the filling at the top. They were much too doughy for me. Two - there wasn't enough filling to go around. To eliminate this, I would actually double the filling. (Note - I did not double the filling in the recipe below!) I think once you get the dough to filling ratio right then these will be a great fall treat!

Apple Crowns 

adapted from Taste of Home

Ingredients

1 1/3 cups chopped, peeled Granny Smith apples

1/3 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

1/2 cup sugar, divided

2 TBS all-purpose flour

2 tsp ground cinnamon, divided

1 package Pillsbury Grands! flaky biscuits

2 tsp butter, melted

Directions 

Preheat oven to 350.

In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the apples, walnuts, 3 TBS sugar, flour, 3/4 tsp cinnamon and salt. Microwave on high for 2-3 minutes or until almost tender.

Flatten each biscuit into a 5-in. circle. Combine remaining sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle a rounded teaspoonful of sugar mixture over each. Top each with 1/4 cup apple mixture. Bring up edges to enclose mixture; pinch edges to seal.

Place seam side down in ungreased muffin cups. Brush tops with butter; sprinkle with remaining sugar mixture. With a sharp knife, cut an “X” in the top of each.

Bake for 18-22 minutes or until golden brown. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack.

Enjoy!
