Ingredients for Apple Cranberry Wrap Arounds

  • 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter
  • Golden Delicious Apples
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup apricot preserves
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries (or raisins)
  • Large Refrigerated Biscuits

How to Make Apple Cranberry Wrap Arounds

  1. Melt 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) of butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add 2 medium apples (about 1 1/2 pounds), peeled, cored, and diced, along with 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  3. Cook, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes until apples begin to soften.
  4. Stir in 1/4 cup apricot preserves and 1/2 cup dried cranberries (or raisins) with 1/4 cup water.
  5. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, for another 4-5 minutes, until apples are tender but not mushy.
  6. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
  7. Separate 1 package (16 ounces) of refrigerated biscuit dough into 8 rounds. Gently roll each round out to a 6-inch circle using a rolling pin.
  8. Place approximately 1/3 to 1/2 cup of the cooled apple mixture in the center of each dough circle.
  9. Carefully wrap the dough around the filling, pinching the edges to seal completely.
  10. Place the wraps seam-side down on a greased baking sheet.
  11. Sprinkle the tops of the wraps with 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar.
  12. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and the filling is bubbly.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
