- Meanwhile, chop up apple pie filling into small pieces.
- Remove the muffin tin. Place a small pad of butter (about 1/4 teaspoon, maybe a little less), a pinch of cinnamon and 1/4 teaspoon of brown sugar into the bottom of each biscuit mold. Fill each mold with apple filling. Top each with a small pad of butter (about 1/4 teaspoon, maybe a little less), a pinch of cinnamon and 1/4 teaspoon of brown sugar. Ingredients might mound over the top, that is fine.

- Using the remaining biscuit halves, cover each mold and pinch (as best you can) the edges together. Using a sharp knife cut a small hole in the top of each biscuit for steam to release.
- Sprinkle the tops with more cinnamon and turbinado sugar, pressing down lightly to secure.
