Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 can buttermilk biscuits
- 1 can apple pie filling
Spices and Seasonings:
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Sweet and Binding Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375F (190C) and lightly grease a baking pan or skillet to prepare the cooking surface.
- Create a fragrant sugar mixture by combining brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg in a mixing bowl until thoroughly blended.
- Submerge each biscuit completely in melted butter, ensuring total coverage, then generously roll in the prepared sugar mixture.
- Carefully dice the apple pie filling into smaller, more manageable chunks and incorporate vanilla extract for enhanced flavor complexity.
- Strategically layer the chopped apple pie filling across the butter-coated biscuits, distributing evenly throughout the pan.
- Sprinkle remaining sugar mixture over the apple-topped biscuits and drizzle any residual melted butter to enhance caramelization.
- Transfer the pan to the preheated oven and bake for 35 minutes, monitoring until biscuits transform into a rich golden-brown color and appear fully cooked.
- While biscuits are cooling, whisk confectioners sugar and milk together in a small bowl until achieving a smooth, glossy icing consistency.
- Once biscuits have slightly cooled, delicately drizzle the prepared icing over the top, allowing it to cascade naturally across the surface.
- Serve immediately while warm, savoring the delightful fusion of buttery biscuits and sweet apple pie flavors.
Notes
- Swap store-bought biscuit dough with homemade buttermilk biscuits for a more authentic, from-scratch flavor that elevates the entire dish.
- Use fresh apples instead of canned filling by dicing Granny Smith or Honeycrisp apples and cooking them briefly with a touch of cinnamon for a fresher, brighter taste.
- Create a gluten-free version by using gluten-free baking mix or almond flour biscuits, ensuring those with dietary restrictions can enjoy this comforting treat.
- Reduce sugar content by using a sugar substitute like stevia or monk fruit sweetener, and opt for a light drizzle of honey instead of heavy icing for a healthier alternative.
