Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 can buttermilk biscuits
- 1 can apple pie filling, chopped
- 1/2 cup (113 grams) unsalted butter, melted
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1/2 cup (100 grams) brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Glaze Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (60 grams) confectioners’ sugar
- 1 tablespoon milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and generously grease a baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
- Create a fragrant sugar blend by combining brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg in a medium mixing bowl, stirring until thoroughly incorporated.
- Dunk each biscuit into melted butter, ensuring complete coverage, then roll in the prepared sugar mixture until evenly coated.
- Carefully arrange the sugar-coated biscuits in the prepared baking dish, positioning them close together.
- Dice the apple pie filling into smaller, more manageable chunks and gently fold in vanilla extract for enhanced flavor complexity.
- Distribute the seasoned apple filling evenly across the top of the sugar-coated biscuits, allowing the filling to nestle between and around the biscuits.
- Drizzle any remaining melted butter over the entire dish to promote golden browning and additional richness.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, watching for a deep golden-brown color and bubbling edges.
- While baking, prepare the glaze by whisking confectioners’ sugar with milk until smooth and slightly runny.
- Once baked, remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes, then generously drizzle the creamy glaze over the warm biscuits before serving.
Notes
- Swap pre-made biscuit dough with homemade biscuit dough for a more authentic, fresher taste and control over ingredients.
- Reduce sugar content by using green apples or adding less brown sugar for a less sweet version that highlights natural fruit flavors.
- Toast chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts and sprinkle on top for added crunch and nutty depth to the biscuits.
- For gluten-free option, use gluten-free baking mix or almond flour biscuits and ensure apple filling is certified gluten-free.
