These were very good. I took the advice of another reviewer and preheated the oven to 200 degrees, turned it off and let the biscuits rise for one hour. I also cut the shorting to 1/2 cup total and used 1/4 cup of Crisco and 1/4 cup of butter. The problem was that I put all 24 on one baking sheet and they all ran together and the round biscuits took on the shape of the baking sheet and became square. It certainly didn't hurt the taste and could still be separated. However, you might want to space them out a tiny bit more. A very good recipe and I will make again

This is very good and can easily be made lower calorie with the use of 1/2 Splenda and sugar, reduced fat Crescent Rolls and with Diet Mountain Dew. Some of the larger pieces of apple were still a little "al dente," but I'm not sure that's a real problem. It may have browned quicker than the apples could cook. This is easy recipe which will get rave reviews and will appear to have been a lot more work than it really was! Who knew you could cook with Mountain Dew?!

These were great and the dough worked up beautifully. Definitely a winner! I appreciate the reviewer who explained the reason for the baking soda bath.
