Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

This looks awesome and I love the suggestion about using the biscuits and apple filling

my sister uses hungry jack biscuits.  she splits one biscuit into two pieces then rolls each piece into a circle.  her pies are the best of this kind i have every eaten.  she uses figs, lemon filling, blueberries, coconut pie filling, sweet potatoes,  pecans, chocolate,  you name it she uses it.
