-
2 tbsp unsalted butter

1/3 cup granulated sugar

1 tbsp cornstarch

2 tbsp water
For the Dough:
-
1 can (8 pieces) refrigerated biscuit dough
-
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
-
1 cup granulated sugar
-
1 tbsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
-
In a saucepan over medium heat, melt 2 tbsp butter. Add apples, 1/3 cup sugar, and 1 tsp cinnamon. Cook for 4–5 minutes until softened.

Mix cornstarch and water into a slurry. Stir into the apples and cook 1–2 minutes until thickened. Let cool.
-
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment.
-
Flatten biscuit dough into 1/4-inch rounds.
-
Add 1 tbsp apple filling to each, pinch to seal into a ball.

Place seam-side down on the baking sheet. Bake 12–15 minutes until golden brown.
-
Let cool slightly and enjoy warm.
Notes
Granny Smith or Honeycrisp apples work best.
Add a caramel candy to the filling for a gooier center.
Crescent dough can be used instead of biscuits.
Reheat in the microwave for 10 seconds to revive freshness.
Optional add-ins: chopped pecans or raisins for texture.
