| 1 cup chopped peeled apple (1 medium) |
| 1 can (10.2 oz) refrigerated Pillsbury™ Grands!™ Southern Homestyle Buttermilk Biscuits (5 Count) |

- Cut two 8-inch rounds of cooking parchment paper. Place one round in bottom of air fryer basket. Spray with cooking spray.
- In small bowl, mix sugar and cinnamon. In another small bowl, mix chopped apple and 2 tablespoons of the cinnamon-sugar until well mixed.
- Separate dough into 5 biscuits; separate each biscuit into 2 layers. Press each into 4-inch round. Spoon 1 heaping tablespoonful of the apples into center of each round. Gently fold edges up and over filling; pinch to seal. Brush biscuits on all sides with 2 tablespoons of the melted butter.

Cook 4 to 6 minutes longer or until cooked through and apples are tender. Brush biscuits with remaining 1 tablespoon melted butter; roll in remaining cinnamon-sugar.
