Ingredients

• 2 Fresh Apples
• 1 lemon
• 1 cup Granulated Sugar (3/4 cup will be used for syrup, 1/4 cup will be used in the dumplings)
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) Butter
• 1/4 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 Pillsbury Grands! Southern Homestyle Buttermilk Biscuit Dough, 8 ct., 16.3 oz.
• 1 canned Buttermilk Biscuit
• 4 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Preparation Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
2. Peel, core, and slice the apples vertically into 8 slices each.
3. Squeeze the lemon into a bowl of water and add the apple slices to prevent them from turning brown.
4. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of water, 3/4 cup of sugar, butter, and vanilla.
5. Bring the sugar mixture to a boil over medium heat.
6. Separate each biscuit into 2 layers. Wrap a biscuit layer around a slice of apple, stretching the biscuit slightly to overlap, and seal on the bottom.
7. Place the wrapped slices, sealed-side down, in a 9- by 12- by 2-inch casserole dish.
8. Pour the hot sugar mixture over the apple slices.
9. Mix the remaining 1/4 cup sugar with the cinnamon and sprinkle the mixture over the tops of the wrapped apples.
10. Bake until golden brown, about 35 minutes.
