Nutless Wonder

The thing about a recipe called "Apple Nut Ring" - is the nut bit.  You see, I have never actually added nuts.  This recipe goes way back to when I was a kid.  My mom bought a stoneware pan and this recipe came along with it.  I remember making this as a kid on Saturdays for Sunday morning breakfast.  Recently I asked my mom to borrow her pan to make this recipe.   Poor Andy was quite confused that there were no actual nuts.  Perhaps I shall try again with the stated nuts.  It is quite simple and can be made in pans not stoneware, the biscuits dipped in butter and cinnamon sugar are so very good.  Well worth the messy hands and confused looks from your significant other.
