20 20 40

Ingredients

1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons butter, melted
2 tablespoons water
1/3 cup pecan halves
BISCUIT:
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3 tablespoons shortening
3 tablespoons cold butter
2/3 cup milk
1/2 cup diced peeled tart apple
FILLING:
3 tablespoons butter, softened
2 tablespoons applesauce
1 tablespoon honey
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
3 tablespoons raisins

Directions

In a small bowl, combine the honey, brown sugar, butter and water. Divide among 12 greased muffin cups. Sprinkle with pecans; set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon. Cut in shortening and butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in milk and apple just until moistened.
Turn onto a floured surface. Pat into a 10-in. x 8-in. rectangle, about 1/2 in. thick. Spread with butter, then applesauce; drizzle with honey. Sprinkle with brown sugar and raisins. Roll up, jelly-roll style, starting with a long side. Cut into 12 biscuits. Place, cut side down, over pecan mixture in muffin cups.
Bake at 425° for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Cool for 1 minute before inverting onto a serving platter. Serve warm. Yield: 1 dozen.
