Ingredients

3/4 cup Pillsbury BEST® All Purpose or Unbleached Flour
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup butter or margarine
1/2 cup chopped nuts, if desired
1 (17.3-ounce) can Pillsbury® Grands!® Refrigerated Flaky Biscuits
1 (21-ounce) can apple, blueberry or cherry pie filling
1 to 1 1/2 cups whipping cream
Cinnamon-sugar


Directions

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly spoon flour into measuring cup; level off. In medium bowl, combine flour, brown sugar and cinnamon. With pastry blender or fork, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in nuts.

Separate dough into 8 biscuits. Split each biscuit in half to make 16 rounds. With floured fingers, flatten each to form 4-inch round. Press each biscuit round in ungreased 2 3/4-by-1 1/4-inch muffin cup. Spoon 2 tablespoons pie filling into each biscuit-lined cup. Sprinkle each with about 2 tablespoons flour mixture. (Cups will be full.)

Bake at 350 degrees for 15-22 minutes or until golden brown. Cool 5 minutes. Remove from muffin cups; place on wire rack. Cool 10 minutes. In small bowl, beat whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Top each serving with whipped cream; sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar. Store in refrigerator. Makes 16 servings. — $10,000 winner, S. Lea Mead, San Mateo, Calif.
