Why I Love This Recipe
I’m a big fan of shortcut desserts that don’t taste like shortcuts—and these Apple Pie Biscuits are exactly that.
They’re:
- Quick and beginner-friendly
- Made with minimal ingredients
- Perfect for holidays or weeknights
- Easy to customize
They remind me of the same comfort factor you get from a slice of Chocolate Chip Banana Bread—warm, sweet, and nostalgic.
Plus, they pair beautifully with a cold glass of This Blueberry Lemonade Is My Favorite Refreshing Drink for Sunny Days if you’re serving them for brunch or a gathering.
Ingredients
You only need a handful of simple ingredients:
- 1 can refrigerated biscuits (8-count)
- 1 can apple pie filling
- ½ cup melted butter
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2–3 tablespoons milk (for glaze)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Swaps and Notes
- Fresh apples: If you prefer, cook diced apples with butter, sugar, and cinnamon until tender instead of using canned filling.
- Spice it up: Add nutmeg or apple pie spice for deeper flavor.
- Caramel twist: Drizzle caramel sauce over the top before serving.
- Crispy edges: Bake in a cast-iron skillet for beautifully caramelized bottoms.
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Preheat and Prep
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a baking dish.
2. Flatten the Biscuits
Separate the biscuits and flatten each one slightly with your hands or a rolling pin.
3. Fill with Apples
Spoon a generous amount of apple pie filling into the center of each biscuit.
4. Seal and Arrange
Fold the edges up and pinch to seal, forming a stuffed biscuit ball. Place seam-side down in the baking dish.
5. Cinnamon Sugar Coating
Mix brown sugar and cinnamon together. Brush biscuits with melted butter and sprinkle generously with the cinnamon sugar mixture.
6. Bake
Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
7. Make the Glaze
Whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Drizzle over warm biscuits before serving.
Tips for Success
- Don’t overfill the biscuits or they may burst open while baking.
- Chop large apple slices into smaller pieces for easier stuffing.
- Serve warm for maximum gooey goodness.
- Let them cool slightly before glazing to prevent the icing from melting completely.
If you’re serving these at a party, they make a perfect sweet addition alongside something savory like This Baked Brie Appetizer Is My Favorite Effortless Way to Impress Guests.
