Finally a Dessert!! Caramel Apple Popovers

Today I had a request for a dessert on the blog. I thought DUH why haven't I posted a dessert yet?! I looked over my favorite simple ones and decided to post this one. It's SUPER simple and delish!!

What you need:
1 can of biscuits- keep them in the fridge til you are absolutely ready to use them. You can use the flaky kind if you want.
3- 4 apples. I prefer Fuji, Gala, or Pink Lady, but any will do.
Cinnamon
Sugar
Nutmeg
Brown Sugar
Butter
Lemon Juice
Flour

OR you can cheat and use an apple pie filling if you have one. (This would be good with ANY pie filling, cherry, blueberry, etc).

Preheat your oven to 400.
Peel and core the apples and then cut them into slices. If you have an apple corer/slicer, use that, but then slice the slices in half again to make them skinnier.
In a bowl, combine about 2 tablespoons of cinnamon, a dash or two of nutmeg, about 1/8 cup sugar, a tablespoon of butter, 2 tablespoons of flour, a teaspoon of lemon juice, and about 1/4 cup of brown sugar. Toss the apples in this mixture to coat them. Set aside.

To prepare
On a cutting board, separate the biscuits. Take one biscuit and roll it out flat into about a 4-6" flat dough circle. Spoon the apple mixture onto one half of the circle. Do not use too much where you cant close it. Wet the outer edge of the circle, and then fold the other half of the circle onto itself. Use a fork to pinch it closed. It should look like a semi-circle. Repeat with al 10 biscuits and place them on a cookie sheet. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. USE A LOT. They should be completely covered. If you think you used too much, you did it right. If you want, take a fork and poke tiny holes in the top of each pocket to vent.
Bake in the oven at 400 for about 12-15 minutes or until the biscuits are done and the pockets are bubbling. Remove from pan to let cool, serve warm with vanilla ice cream. These are also a really good quick breakfast and are good reheated. (these arent burnt, that's cinnamon.)
