Ingredients for Apple Pie Biscuits

Here’s what you’ll need to make these delightful treats:

• Canned Buttermilk Biscuits: We’re using canned biscuits for convenience, but you can use your favorite homemade biscuit recipe if you prefer.
• Apple Pie Filling: A can of apple pie filling makes this recipe super easy.
• Butter: Melted butter adds richness and helps create that golden brown crust.
• Brown Sugar: Adds sweetness and a touch of caramel flavor.
• Cinnamon: Ground cinnamon is what gives these biscuits that warm, cozy flavor.
• Nutmeg: A pinch of nutmeg adds a subtle warmth and depth of flavor.
• Vanilla Extract: A touch of vanilla enhances all the other flavors.
• Confectioners’ Sugar: For the sweet and simple icing.
• Milk: Just a tablespoon of milk to make the icing.

Variations

• Nutty Delight: Sprinkle some chopped pecans or walnuts over the apple filling before baking.
• Oatmeal Raisin: Add some oatmeal and raisins to the cinnamon sugar mixture for a different flavor and texture.
• Caramel Drizzle: Drizzle some caramel sauce over the biscuits before serving for an extra layer of sweetness.
• Cream Cheese Icing: For a richer icing, try using cream cheese instead of confectioners’ sugar.

How to Make Apple Pie Biscuits

Step 1: Preheat and Prep

First, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking pan or skillet with butter or non-stick spray.

Step 2: Prepare the Cinnamon Sugar Mix

In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

Step 3: Coat the Biscuits

Dip each biscuit in the melted butter, then coat it generously with the cinnamon sugar mixture. Arrange the coated biscuits in the prepared pan.

Step 4: Prepare the Apple Filling

Chop the apple pie filling into smaller pieces. I like to do this so the apples are easier to distribute over the biscuits. Mix the chopped apples with the vanilla extract and spoon the mixture evenly over the arranged biscuits.

Step 5: Add the Remaining Toppings

Drizzle any remaining melted butter over the top of the biscuits and sprinkle with any leftover cinnamon sugar mixture.

Step 6: Bake to Perfection

Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 35 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.

Step 7: Prepare the Icing

While the biscuits are baking, whisk together the confectioners’ sugar and milk to make the icing.

Step 8: Finish and Serve

Once the biscuits are done baking, drizzle the icing over the top while they’re still warm. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Tips and Tricks

• Even Coating: Make sure each biscuit is evenly coated with the butter and cinnamon sugar mixture.
• Don’t Overcrowd: Don’t overcrowd the pan. Leave some space between the biscuits so they can bake evenly.
• Warm Biscuits: Drizzle the icing over the warm biscuits so it melts slightly and creates a beautiful glaze.

How to Serve

These Apple Pie Biscuits are delicious on their own, but you can also:

• Ice Cream: Serve them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a classic dessert combination.
• Whipped Cream: A dollop of whipped cream adds a touch of richness.
• Caramel Sauce: Drizzle some caramel sauce over the biscuits for an extra layer of sweetness.
