Why I Love This Recipe

There’s something so satisfying about throwing a few pantry staples into a skillet and pulling out something that smellslike a bakery. This is my go-to when I want apple pie flavor but don’t have time to make crust.

Using refrigerated biscuits means less time rolling dough, and chopping up canned apple pie filling gives you that soft apple texture in every bite. Add a buttery brown sugar topping and a drizzle of glaze? Pure magic.

Ingredients

• 1 (8-count) can refrigerated biscuits
• 3 tablespoons salted butter, melted
• ⅓ cup packed light brown sugar
• ½ tablespoon ground cinnamon
• ¼ teaspoon apple pie spice
• 1 (21 oz) can apple pie filling
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
• Splash of milk, for glaze

Instructions

1. Preheat & Prep

Preheat oven to 375°F. Brush an oven-safe skillet with some of the melted butter.

2. Arrange the Biscuits

Place the biscuits in the skillet and brush both sides with the remaining melted butter.

3. Mix & Sprinkle

In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, and apple pie spice. Set aside 1/3 of the mixture, and sprinkle the remaining mix evenly over the tops of the biscuits.

4. Add the Apples

Using kitchen shears, chop the apple pie filling directly in the can into smaller bite-sized chunks. Spoon the filling evenly over the biscuits.

5. Final Sprinkle

Sprinkle the reserved brown sugar mixture over the top.

6. Bake

Bake, uncovered, for 35 to 45 minutes, depending on the size of your biscuits. The tops should be golden and the centers cooked through. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center biscuit.

7. Cool & Glaze

Let the skillet rest on a cooling rack for 10 minutes.

Whisk together powdered sugar and just a splash of milk to create a thick glaze. Drizzle over the warm biscuits.

Tips for Success

• Don’t skip the butter brushing — it gives the biscuits that rich, golden edge.
• Make sure the center biscuit is fully cooked before removing from the oven.
• Chop the apple filling small so it spreads and caramelizes into the dough.
• Want extra texture? Add chopped pecans or walnuts before baking.
• Drizzle with caramel sauce instead of glaze for a decadent upgrade.

Serving Suggestions

These are best served warm and gooey, straight from the skillet. Pair them with:

• A scoop of vanilla ice cream
• Hot apple cider or pumpkin spice muffins
• Fresh whipped cream or vanilla yogurt
• A second drizzle of banana pudding if you’re feeling wild
