Instructions

1. 1

   Cook the apples. Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir frequently for 5 to 7 minutes until the apples soften and the mixture becomes glossy.

2. 2

   Thicken the filling. Mix the cornstarch and water in a small bowl, then stir it into the apples. Cook for another minute until the juices look syrupy and coat the fruit instead of running across the pan. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

3. 3

   Prepare the biscuits. Separate the biscuits and gently flatten each one into a round about 4 inches wide. Avoid pressing too thin or the filling may leak.

4. 4

   Fill and seal. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of apple filling into the center of each biscuit. Pull the edges up around the filling and pinch tightly closed. Roll gently between your palms to form a smooth ball.

5. 5

   Bake. Place the filled biscuits seam-side down in a lightly greased skillet or baking dish. Brush the tops with melted butter. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15 to 18 minutes, until the tops are golden brown and the edges are lightly crisp.

6. 6

   Add the topping. While still warm, mix the cinnamon and sugar together and sprinkle generously over the biscuits. The sugar should cling to the buttery surface and create a light crunch.

7. 7

   Serve warm. Let the biscuits cool for 5 minutes before serving. The filling should be thick and spoonable rather than runny when you break one open.
