- When the filling is cool, roll the biscuits out on a lightly floured surface so that each biscuit form a 7 to 8-inch circle.
- Place 2 to 3 tablespoons of the filling on 1/2 of each circle; brush the edges of the circle with water. Fold the circle over the filling to make a half-moon shapes. SEAL the edges, by pressing the edges with the tines of a fork; this is inportant.

My Aunt Pat taught me how to do these when I was little. We use nutmeg and all spice in the filling as well as the cinnamon and sugar. We often use about 8 large apples and still only 3/4 of a cup of sugar or splenda. Makes them less sweet and you can actually taste the flavor of the apples. With the amount of filling made, there's usually 2 cans of ten biscuts used and there's still leftover filling for a country breakfast the next morning! Filling goes great with bacon, ham and eggs. Thank you for posting a blast from my past :)
