Ingredients
  

Dough
  • 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (about 8 biscuits) Use flaky biscuits for a tender exterior.
Apple Filling
  • 2 cups peeled and diced apples (about 2 medium apples) Tart varieties like Granny Smith balance the sugar.
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar Brown sugar can be used for a deeper, caramel note.
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon Add a pinch of nutmeg for warmth (optional).
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice Brightens the apple flavor and prevents browning.
Additional Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted Imparts richness; swap for coconut oil for a dairy-free option.
  • to taste caramel sauce (for drizzling) Homemade or store-bought; salted caramel pairs beautifully.
  • to taste whipped cream (optional, for serving) Vanilla or cinnamon whipped cream boosts aroma.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for about 3–5 minutes.
  2. In a bowl, mix together the diced apples, sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice until well coated.
  3. Open the biscuit dough and flatten each biscuit with your fingers or a rolling pin to create a thin disk.
  4. Place a spoonful of the apple mixture in the center of each biscuit and fold the edges over to seal, pinching firmly.
  5. Brush the tops with melted butter for a golden finish and extra flavor.
Cooking
  1. Place the filled biscuits in a single layer in the air fryer basket and cook for about 8–10 minutes or until golden brown and puffed.
Serving
  1. Serve warm, drizzled with caramel sauce and topped with whipped cream if desired.

Notes

For extra crunch, stir in 2 tablespoons chopped toasted pecans into the apple mix. For a vegan version, use dairy-free biscuit dough, coconut oil, and a plant-based caramel.
