Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 350. Peel, core and slice apples; cut apples into eighths. Place apples, walnuts, raisins, flour, 1 tsp of the cinnamon and 1/4 cup of the sugar in classic batter bowl; mix well; Microwave apple mixture on high 3 minutes or until hot; mix well.

2. Separate 12 biscuits and place on cutting board. (discard remaining buscuit or set aside for another use.) Using dough roller; roll each biscuit into a 5-inch disk, flouring dough as needed. Arrange biscuit in a single layer on clean, flat surface. Combine remaining cinnamon and remaining sugar in small batter bowl. Place 1/4 cup of the sugar mixture in the flour sugar shaker; sprinkle evenly over biscuits. Using medium scoop, divide apple mixture evenly onto center of each biscuit; gather up edges over filling, pinching lightly to seal.

3. Microwave butter in small bowl on high for 15 seconds or until melted. Holding filled biscuits at sealed end, dip each biscuit into butter, then into remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture in small batter bowl. Place biscuits, seam side down, into stoneware pan. Do not press down into cup. Using serrated bread knife, cut through top of each biscuit, making a crisscross pattern.

Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pan. If desired, serve with a scoop of ice cream and drizzle with caramel sauce.
