Criss Cross Apple Crowns
Why I Love This Recipe
Ingredients You'll Need
4 small Granny Smith apples
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 cup raisins
3 Tbs. flour
1 Tbs. ground cinnamon, divided
3/4 cup sugar, divided
17.3 oz. pkg. grand-size flaky/buttermilk biscuits (8 biscuits)
10.2 oz. pkg. grand-size flaky/buttermilk biscuits (5 biscuits)
1 Tbs. butter or margarine, melted
Vanilla Ice cream or Cool Whip, optional
Caramel ice cream topping, optional
Directions
Heat oven to 350. Peel, core and slice apples. Place apples, walnuts,
raisins, flour, 1 tsp. 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†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 over 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 in
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 25-30 minutes or
until golden brown. Remove from pan. If desired, serve with a scoop of vanilla
ice cream and drizzle with caramel sauce.
