# Steps:
01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt. Cook 4-5 minutes until apples are tender and caramelized. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
03 - Separate biscuit dough into individual pieces. Flatten each into a 4-inch circle.
