Preparation

Step 1

Step 1
Heat oven to 350°F. Spray cookie sheet with cooking spray.

Step 2
Separate dough into 8 biscuits. Press or roll each to form 5-inch round. Cut apple into 8 (1/4-inch) rings. Place 1 apple ring on center of each biscuit. In small bowl, mix sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle about a teaspoon cinnamon sugar over each apple ring.

Step 3
Wrap biscuit around each apple ring to cover completely, pinching ends together to form tight seal. Place biscuits, sealed side down, on cookie sheet.

Step 4
Bake 18 to 22 minutes or until biscuits are deep golden brown. Brush tops of biscuits with melted butter, and sprinkle with remaining cinnamon sugar. Drizzle with caramel sauce. Serve immediately.



Tips:

These doughnuts taste best straight out of the oven. To make up to 2 hours ahead, prepare as directed up to the baking step, then cover and refrigerate until ready to bake. When ready, uncover and bake as directed.

Sprinkle with powdered sugar instead of the cinnamon sugar for a fun variation.
