Criss Cross Apple Crowns
Yield: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 4 small Granny Smith apples
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
- 1/2 cup raisins
- 3 tablespoon all purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon, divided
- 3/4 cup sugar, divided
- 1 (17.3 ounce) can grand-size flaky or buttermilk biscuits (8 biscuits)
- 1 (10.2 ounce) can grand-size flaky or buttermilk biscuits (5 biscuits)
- 1 tablespoon butter or margarine, melted
- Vanilla ice cream or thawed, frozen whipped topping (optional)
- Caramel ice cream topping (optional)
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Peel, core and slice apples. Place apples, walnuts, raisins, flour, 1 teaspoon cinnamon and 1/4 cup sugar in a bowl and mix well. Microwave apple mixture on high 3 minutes or until hot. Mix well.
- Separate 12 biscuits and place on cutting board. Roll each biscuit into a 5-inch disk, flouring dough as needed. Arrange biscuits in a single layer on clean, flat surface.
- Combine remaining sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of mixture over biscuits. Divide apple mixture evenly onto center of each biscuit; gather up edges over filling, pinching to seal.
- Microwave butter about 15 seconds or until melted. Holding each biscuit at sealed end, dip each biscuit into butter, then into remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture. Place biscuits, seam side down, into muffin pan. Do not press down into cup! Using a serrated bread knife, cut through top of each biscuit, making a crisscross pattern.
- Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pan.
- If desired, serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and drizzle with caramel sauce.
