2 tablespoons water
→ Dough and Coating Ingredients
07 -
1 pre-made can of biscuit dough (8 pieces)
08 -
1/2 cup melted butter
09 -
1 tablespoon cinnamon spice
10 -
1 cup white sugar
# Instructions:
01 -
In a pan, melt your butter on medium heat. Add diced apples, sugar, and cinnamon to the pan. Cook it all together for about 5 minutes, giving it a stir occasionally, until the apples start softening. In a separate small bowl, blend water and cornstarch until there are no clumps, then pour it into the apple mix. Keep cooking for another minute or two until the mixture thickens up. Remove it from the heat to cool while you prepare the dough.
02 -
Turn your oven on to 375°F and get a baking sheet ready by putting parchment paper on it. This makes cleaning up later super easy and stops the dough from sticking.
03 -
Break open the biscuit can and take out each biscuit. Flatten them one by one with your hands or a rolling pin, aiming for about 1/4-inch in thickness. No need for perfect shapes here—imperfection is fine!
04 -
Place roughly a tablespoon of the cooled apple filling onto the middle of each flattened biscuit. Fold the edges up and over the top, pinching them tight so none of the filling leaks out. Make sure they’re sealed properly.
05 -
Take each stuffed dough ball and dip it into the melted butter, giving it a good coating. After that, roll them around in the cinnamon-sugar mix until they’re completely covered. Put them seam side down on the baking tray.
06 -
Place the tray in the oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until they’ve turned a deep golden brown. The smell in your kitchen will be amazing!
07 -
Let them sit for a few minutes to cool slightly—you want them warm without being dangerously hot. They taste incredible fresh, with gooey centers and crispy outsides.
# Notes:
01 -
These little treats pack all the apple pie flavors into a bite-sized snack—perfect for gatherings, school treats, or whenever you crave a quick and easy dessert.
02 -
Go for firmer apple varieties like Honeycrisp or Granny Smith since they hold their shape better and their tartness balances the sweet coating beautifully.
03 -
Make them ahead if you want—they keep at room temperature for a couple of days, but they're at their best right out of the oven. For a refresh, warm them in the oven for a few minutes.
