Apple, Ham and Cheddar Biscuit Cups

Intro

Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Finely dice the apples. Add the apples, sugar, cinnamon and a pinch of salt. Saute until the apples are tender and start to stick when you scoot them around the pan, about 5 minutes. The butter and sugar will caramelize and become slightly sticky. 

Finely dice the ham if it's not already diced. Add the ham and rosemary. Saute until the ham gets some nice sear marks here and there, 3 to 5 minutes. 

Meanwhile, grate the cheese.  

Prep the Filling

Meanwhile, roll out the biscuits until 3 1/2 inches wide and gently press them into 10 cups of a muffin tin. Add all-purpose flour to the surface if needed. 

Spoon the filing evenly into each cup, then top each with the Cheddar. Bake until the cheese is melted and starting to lightly brown and bubble, about 15 minutes.

Prep the Biscuit Cups

Let the biscuits rest for 5 minutes in the muffin tin. Pop each biscuit out of the tin and transfer to a platter or cutting board. Garnish with the rosemary and serve immediately.
