Canned Biscuit Apple Tart

I found a great deal on canned biscuits last week. Three cans of 10 biscuits for $.99. I prefer to make biscuits from scratch but, I couldn't pass up such a great deal. Plus they are great for a quick side dishes. Last night I made a yummy apple tart with a can of biscuits and some apples my super hubby harvested from our apple tree. Our apples aren't very large, slightly bigger than golf balls but they are firm and not overly sweet. Since I did not plant the apple tree, I am not sure what type it is but they are perfect for Wild Man's little hands. We had so many apples this year, I am now faced with using them before they go bad. Applesauce, apple butter and apple jelly are on my list but then again, I may use them all for this tasty apply tart! ;)


Ingredients

1 can of biscuit dough (10 small biscuits)-room temperature
apples-chopped into bite sized pieces with or without skin
1/2 c packed brown sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp allspice
dash of salt
5 pats of butter

Directions
Preheat oven to 350. Spray pie pan with non-stick spray. Spread 5 of the biscuits to cover the bottom of the pie pan. Add chopped apples to cover dough with 2" depth. Sprinkle brown sugar, cinnamon, allspice, and a dash of salt over apples. Space 5 pats of butter evenly around the apples. Spread out the remaining 5 biscuits over the butter and apples. Dust with cinnamon sugar. Bake approximately 30 minutes. Allow to cool, slice and serve.

Next time, I will make this in cute cupcake tins for individual sized servings. Maybe even for Thanksgiving dinner. YUMMM!

Sounds like a wonderful desert ! I make so much from scratch but I wonder if there is a way to make biscuits and freeze them ourselves for times you want convenience??? :)

There is a way to make and freeze biscuits made from scratch. Make up your biscuits as you normally do but instead of baking them, place them on a pan about a half inch apart then place the pan in the freezer for about 30 minutes. This keeps them from sticking to each other. Transfer the frozen biscuits to a labeled ziploc or tupperware type container and store for up to 6 months (maybe longer if there is no sign of freezer burn). When you get read to bake them, pull out as many as you need and simply add another 5 to 10 minutes to your baking time. Perfect biscuits every time!!!

This looks great - I posted a French Apple Tart recently and it was so good...I love cooking with apples all year but in the fall it always feels extra special - it reminds me of peeling apples to make pie with my Grandma. Thanks so much for sharing this on Slightly Indulgent Mondays!
