Apple Cinnamon Biscuit Muffins are an extension of the favorite house bread of the South. Dipped in butter, then coated with cinnamon sugar, the centers are filled with apple jelly and baked. They make a tasty start to any day.
Apple Cinnamon Biscuit Muffins
Biscuits in the South are a staple. They are available just about anywhere you can purchase a quick breakfast on the run. Years ago, neither of my Grandfathers would have ever left the house for work without a big and hearty hot breakfast. It usually consisted of eggs, bacon, sausage, gravy, grits, fried potatoes or hash browns, oatmeal, the list could go on and on. Of course, it could also be any combination of the aforementioned. One thing was for sure, whatever the choice, it wouldn't be complete without a plate of hot, buttered biscuits.
Can Homemade Biscuits be Used for this Recipe?

Notes
1. The apple jelly will melt and infuse the flavor into the center of the biscuits. As the center of the biscuit rises, some may escape. Make sure your oven is lined with aluminum foil just in case it drips from the pan.
2. You may also use light butter, low sugar jam and Splenda Brown Sugar Blend for these muffins.
