Great easy recipe. I added some chopped walnuts and graham cracker crumbs with melted butter to the apples. It was such a wonderful pastry with minimal effort. I don't feel that my changes were necessary, but I just made it to my liking. Thank you for posting this tasty recipe.

These were fun to make and my kitchen smelled like a bakery! Perfect with a morning cuppa tea. Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe Marie. Made for Choose Your Event Party in celebration of Davy Crockett's birthday! LOL

I liked these, they were a nice late night snack. A nice idea to top them with the glaze.

Very easy to prepare & worth every minute of the time they do take. If you like apple pie, you'll like these. Thanks for the recipe!!

This is a fun little dessert that is like individual apple pies and the flavor is wonderful. I used reduced fat biscuits and substituted cinnamon sugar for the cinnamon and sugar mixture. I suggest letting these cool before applying the icing/glaze. Great recipe to do with kids.
