Caramel-Apple Sticky Biscuits

Serves: 8
Ingredients
  • 1 (16-ounce) can of 8 jumbo refrigerated biscuits
  • ¾ cup peeled, cored, and diced apple (I used Gala apples)
  • 8 individually wrapped soft caramels, unwrapped and cut in halves
  • 3-1/2 tablespoons butter, divided
  • ⅓ cup chopped walnuts
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt
  • Flour for dusting the work surface
  • Nonstick cooking spray
Directions
  1. Lightly spray the wells of a muffin tin (keep in mind you’ll only use 8) and set aside. Preheat the oven according to the directions on the can of biscuits (usually 350 degrees F.).
  2. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt 3 tablespoons of butter. Add the brown sugar and walnuts, and mix to combine. Stir and cook until the brown sugar has dissolved. Remove from the heat.
  3. In another medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the ½ tablespoon butter. Add the apple, cinnamon, vanilla, and salt. Mix to combine, and reduce the heat to low. Cook for several minutes, or until the apple begins to soften slightly. Remove from the heat.
  4. Add the walnut mixture by a heaping teaspoon to the wells of the muffin tin, enough to cover the bottoms.
  5. Lightly dust a flat and clean work surface with the flour. Open the biscuit container and, one at a time, roll each biscuit thin and into an oval shape.
  6. Add the apple mixture to the center of the flattened biscuit by a heaping tablespoon. Place two halves of a caramel candy over the apple mixture (be sure to separate them slightly). Crimp the dough together like a dumpling, and pinch it together tightly.
  7. Add each biscuit to the muffin tin, crimped side down, and press down slightly to help it fit snugly into the well.
  8. Bake according to the package directions, or until the biscuits turn golden.
  9. Remove from the oven, and immediately place a baking pan (top side down) over the top of the muffin tin. Carefully flip both tins together, upside down, to remove the biscuits from the wells and onto the baking pan, sticky side up.
  10. Transfer to a platter and serve immediately.
