Crisscross Apple Crowns Recipe

look at those little crown creations :)

I made this recipe over the summer when having BBQ with some family friends. They are really tasty and since I came upon the picture (I made these before the idea of my blog came about but they were so cute I had to capture the moment) I took of them, I thought I'd post this recipe to share with you! Hey, if you want to add a Thanksgiving breakfast biscuit or mini apple pie treat to your fall meals, this one is it!

Ingredients

• 1-1/3 cups chopped peeled tart apples
• 1/3 cup chopped walnuts
• 1/3 cup raisins
• 1/2 cup sugar, divided
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, divided
• Dash salt
• 1 package (16.3 ounces) large refrigerated flaky biscuits

• In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the apples, walnuts, raisins, 3 tablespoons sugar, flour, 3/4 teaspoon 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 at 350° for 18-22 minutes or until golden brown. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack. Yield: 8 servings.
• If you are serving these as desert, serve them á la mode... enjoy!
