Sallie’s Quick Apple Treats

2 large apples 1 tube refrigerated buttermilk biscuits 1/3 cup butter, melted ½ cup sugar 1 tsp cinnamon ¾ cup water

Peel and cut apples into 10 wedges. Dip into cinnamon sugar mixture. Roll each biscuit thin and wrap it around the apple wedges. Grease 9 x 13 pan and place wrapped wedges in pan. Brush all the melted butter over the top, and sprinkle with remaining cin- namon sugar mixture. Pour ¾ cup of water over all.

Bake at 425 degrees for 25-30 minutes.

This is a family favorite!
