Crust
1 can (12.4 oz) Pillsbury® refrigerated cinnamon rolls with icing

Filling
6 medium Granny Smith apples, thinly sliced
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/4 teaspoons apple pie spice
2 tablespoons lemon juice

3. In ungreased 9-inch glass pie plate, place 1 dough round in center. Arrange remaining 7 dough rounds around center round and up side of plate, overlapping slightly as necessary. With fingers, press dough to seal together in bottom and up side of pie plate to form crust. Flute edge.

English Toffee



1/2 lb butter(no substitutes)

1 1/3 cup brown sugar(packed)

pecan pieces

milk choc chips



Spread pecans on bottom of 9x13 pan, set aside. In a heavy bottom saucepan bring butter and brown sugar to a slow boil over medium heat, stir constantly(with wooden spoon, this will melt a plastic spoon*lol* I know from experience) Stir constantly for 12 minutes(this is the hardest part), then pour over pecans, spread out a bit. Sprinkle choc chips over and the heat from the toffee will melt them, as they melt spread over toffee. Allow to set a couple of hours. Break into peices with a butter knife...and hide it if you want it to last any amount of time :o) I usually buy nice tins at the dollar store and give this as gifts to neighhbors, teachers, etc. or as a cluttterfree alternative just eat it all yourself!!
