A Great Fall Recipe

I guess my blog is turning into a recipe blog, but I had to share this recipe with you because it's just so fall! And I'm trying to embrace every bit of fall I can before it's gone.



I made these for a Fall Harvest Party we had at church, and they just looked so pretty, and better yet - tasted so good!



Crisscross Apple Crowns


1 1/3 c. chopped peeled tart apples


1/3 c. chopped walnuts (these could be optional if you are a nut-hater)


1/3 c. raisins


1/2 c. sugar


2 Tbsp. all purpose flour

2 tsp. ground cinnamon, divided


dash salt


1 pkg. (17.3 oz) large refrigerated flaky biscuits


2 tsp. butter, melted (spray butter works great for this)



In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the apples, walnuts, raisins, 3 tbsp. sugar, flour 3/4 tsp. cinnamon, and salt. Microwave 2-3 minutes or until almost tender.



Flatten each biscuit into a 5" circle. (Approx.) Combine remaining sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle a rounded teaspoonful of sugar mixture over each. Top each with 1/4 cup apple mixture. Bring up edges to enclose mixture; pinch edges to seal.



Place seam side down in ungreased muffin cups. Brush tops with butter; sprinkle with remaining sugar mixture. With a sharp knife, cut an "X" in the top of each.



Bake at 350 degrees for 18-22 minutes or until golden brown. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack.

You could also easily lower the calories by using reduced fat biscuits, splenda, and spray butter instead of regular butter.


I think they taste best warmed up. They are so appley and homey and warm on a crisp fall day. Yum!
