Caramel Pecan Dessert Ring
Yield: 16 servings or 24 sample servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup pecans, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 egg
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 package (17.3 ounces) refrigerated grand-size flaky biscuits (8 biscuits)
- 1 large red baking apple such as Jonathan
- 1/4 cup caramel ice cream topping or maple-flavored syrup
- Vanilla ice cream (optional)
Instructions
- Heat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Finely chop pecans.
- In a bowl, combine pecans and brown sugar; mix well. Set aside 1/4 cup of the pecan mixture. Add flour to remaining pecan mixture; mix well. Add egg and vanilla; mix until well blended. Set filling aside.
- Separate biscuits; peel each biscuit apart into 2 layers for a total of 16 biscuit halves. Arrange biscuit halves in an overlapping circular pattern 2 inches from edge of large round stone, leaving a 4 inch diameter opening in center of baking stone. To create indentation for filling, lightly flour small end of baker's roller (docker). Beginning in center of each biscuit, roll dough to a 5-inch width, forming a well that continues around biscuit ring. Spoon pecan mixture evenly into well in biscuit ring.
- Cut apple in half; remove stems and core. Place apple halves on cutting board, cut sides down. Using a rocking motion, crinkle cut each apple half crosswise into 1/4-inch slices with crinkle cutter. Place 16 apple slices over filling
in a circular pattern. Sprinkle reserved pecan mixture over apples.
- Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until golden brown.
- Drizzle with ice cream topping.
- To serve, cut between apple slices using pizza cutter and serve.
- Serve with ice cream, if desired.
