Instructions
Preparation

- Prepare the apple filling by coring and chopping the apples, then mixing them with cinnamon, sugar, and lemon juice. Stir in the caramel sauce.
- Roll the biscuit dough on a floured surface to ¼-inch thickness and cut into 4–5 inch circles.
Assembly
- Place about 2 tablespoons of apple filling in the center of each dough circle.
- Fold the dough over the filling and pinch tightly to seal.
Baking
