Ingredients
Scale
Biscuits and Apple Filling
- 1 can of buttermilk biscuits
- 1 can apple pie filling
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Icing
- 1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar
- 1 tablespoon milk
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare pan: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a pan or skillet to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Mix sugar spices: In a bowl, combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg to create the flavorful sugar coating.
- Coat biscuits: Dip each biscuit in melted butter, making sure all sides are covered, then roll or sprinkle with the sugar mixture. Arrange the coated biscuits evenly in the prepared pan.
- Prepare apple topping: Chop the apple pie filling into smaller pieces for easier layering, then mix in the vanilla extract for added flavor. Spread this apple mixture over the biscuits in the pan.
- Finish coating: Sprinkle any remaining sugar mixture over the apple layer and drizzle with the remaining melted butter to promote browning and flavor.
- Bake: Bake the assembled biscuits and apple topping for 35 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
- Make and apply icing: While the biscuits bake, whisk together the confectioners’ sugar and milk until smooth. Drizzle the icing over the warm biscuits just before serving.
Notes
- Use fresh or canned apple pie filling as preferred based on availability.
- For a stronger apple flavor, add a little apple pie spice or extra cinnamon.
- Butter can be substituted with a plant-based alternative for a dairy-free option.
- Serve warm for the best taste and texture.
- Leftovers can be reheated in the oven to retain flakiness.
