Sharon Rose Ristich of Rochester, New York creates a tasty fruit topping for convenient refrigerated biscuits. "I usually double this recipe and put it in two pie plates to serve a crowd," she says. "It really isn't hard to make the topping, but in a pinch, you can substitute canned apple pie filling instead," she suggests.
