This is another easy and simple apple dessert recipe that can be made for two or ten.  It's also a recipe the kids will love making with you.  So get the two main ingredients of biscuits and apples, plus butter and spices out and you can turn an apple into dessert in less than 30 minutes. Don't forget a big scoop of vanilla ice cream and maybe some caramel ice cream topping...
