- Place a walnut half on top of each pineapple filling.
- Add one teaspoon of the reserved pineapple syrup to each cup.

Tips & Substitutions
For a touch of flavor, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg or a splash of vanilla extract to the pineapple mixture. If you don't have walnut halves, chopped pecans or almonds work as great substitutes. For a lighter version, use low-fat biscuits or try the Low-Fat Banana Bran Muffins for a healthier alternative.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these delightful turnovers warm, perhaps with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream on the side. They also pair well with coffee or tea for a delightful afternoon treat. For a twist, enjoy them alongside the Special Coconut Cake for a tropical-inspired dessert spread.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover pineapple turnover biscuits in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 5-7 minutes until warmed through, ensuring the biscuits stay fluffy.
