This is a wonderful recipe. However I would dice the apple and probably saute it a bit before adding it to the dough and cheese. There is a lot that can be done with this.

Terrible disappointment. I had high hopes for this recipe but it was a complete waste of ingredients. Bland. Overbaked biscuit dough, underbaked ricotta.

YUM! I made these today and they are so good. I think one could split the cheese mixture in half! I also used walnuts and was pleased! Very tasty and perfect for a brunch or even a light dessert! Very pretty too!!

They were very good for breakfast. I ate on them for a few days and will make them again! Next time I'll cut each round of dough down the middle since I don't have a jumbo cupcake pan. That way I can get more apples and custard filling in there!

I just made this last night and we had it for breakfast this morning. They were very yummy, but I think i'll make them again with walnuts or pecans. The almonds are kind of ruining it for me even though I do really like almonds. My 3 year old daughter loves this recipe!
