Peel the Granny Smith apple. Remove the core and the seeds and slice into 1/8-inch slices. Carefully lay the apple slices into the baking dish until the whole base is covered with apples. You may need to cut some of the apples to fit into gaps between the slices.

Open the containers of refrigerator biscuits. Separate the biscuits and then cut each biscuit in half. Roll each biscuit half into a ball. Dip each biscuit ball in the bowl with the melted butter until the ball is coated with butter. Then roll the wet ball in the brown-sugar-and-cinnamon mixture until the ball is covered with the sugar. Place the sugared ball into the baking dish on top of the sliced apples. Repeat until all of the biscuits are fitted into the baking dish. Note that the butter will keep the easy apple cinnamon rolls from sticking.

Bake for 30 minutes or until the biscuits are done. Before the easy apple cinnamon rolls cool (and stick), turn the baking dish upside down over a serving platter. The apples and the brown sugar cinnamon will have cooked and formed a caramel sauce that will drip over the biscuits. Eat the rolls while they are piping hot and serve with coffee or tea for a great breakfast treat.

Tips & Warnings
For nutty-crunchy apple cinnamon rolls, add a layer of grated pecans or almonds before placing the biscuits on top of the apples in the baking dish.
Very young children can help to form the biscuits into balls and then roll them in the brown-sugar-cinnamon mixture.
