→ Dough Prep Supplies
07 -
1 cup sugar, granulated
08 -
1 can biscuit dough, refrigerated (8 pieces)
09 -
1 tablespoon cinnamon, ground
10 -
1/2 cup butter, melted
# Instructions:
01 -
Warm your butter over medium heat in a pan. Drop in the apple pieces, sugar, and cinnamon, giving it all a good stir. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes while occasionally mixing until the apples soften up. In a little bowl, combine cornstarch and water until there are no lumps, then pour it into the pan. Keep it on the heat for 1-2 more minutes till it thickens, then set it aside to cool down before you handle the dough.
02 -
Preheat your oven to 375°F and cover your baking tray with parchment paper for easy cleaning and no sticking later.
03 -
Crack open the biscuit can and separate the pieces. Take one biscuit at a time and use your palms or a roller to stretch it out into a thin disc about 1/4-inch thick. No need for perfect circles – a little unevenness is great!
04 -
Put about a spoonful of the apple mixture in the center of each flattened piece of dough. Pull the edges over the filling and seal them tightly by pinching the edges together, creating a small dough package without gaps.
05 -
Dunk each sealed ball of dough into your melted butter, rolling it around to coat it entirely. After that, give it a good roll in the cinnamon sugar until it’s all covered. Arrange them, seam side down, on your lined tray.
06 -
Slide the tray into the oven for about 12 to 15 minutes. When the tops have a golden-brown glow, they're ready. Your kitchen will smell heavenly by this point!
07 -
After pulling them out of the oven, let them cool for a few minutes so they're warm but not scorching. These are best when enjoyed freshly baked — gooey inside, crispy outside, and delicious all around.
# Notes:
01 -
These little treats pack the flavor of apple pie into a mess-free bite. They're great for parties, quick snacks, or satisfying a dessert craving.
02 -
Stick with firmer apples like Honeycrisp or Granny Smith for the best results. They hold their shape when cooked and add a nice tangy contrast to the sugar.

You can make these ahead of time and leave them out at room temperature for a day or two. For a crispy warm-up, pop them back in the oven for a short time.
