Ingredients
2 (6 oz) cans refrigerated biscuits
3 medium Granny Smith apples, diced
2.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
0.25 cup granulated sugar
0.25 cup light brown sugar, packed
4 teaspoons lemon juice
0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
0.25 teaspoon salt
4 teaspoons all-purpose flour
1 cup powdered sugar
2 Tablespoons milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a baking pan.
In a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, add the diced apples and lemon juice.
Stir in the granulated sugar, light brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and flour.
Sauté the apples until they are tender and the juices have thickened into a syrup.
Roll out the refrigerated biscuits on a flat surface to create thin disks.
Place a generous spoonful of the apple mixture onto each biscuit.
Roll the biscuits tightly and place them into the prepared baking pan.
Bake for 20 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.
Whisk the powdered sugar and milk together to create a smooth glaze.
Drizzle the glaze over the warm cinnamon rolls and serve immediately.
Notes
Use firm apples to prevent them from becoming mushy during cooking. Avoid using flaky layer biscuits as they may provide less structural support when filled. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
