Ingredients
For the Biscuits:
1 can (16.3 oz) buttermilk biscuits
1 cup apple pie filling (canned or homemade)
For the Glaze:
2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
½ cup powdered sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
¼ tsp ground nutmeg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1–2 tsp milk (optional, for thinning)
Optional Toppings:
Whipped cream
Vanilla ice cream
Crushed pecans
Caramel sauce
Instructions
1. Preheat Your Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it for easy cleanup.
2. Prepare the Biscuits
Separate the buttermilk biscuits and gently press each one to flatten slightly. This ensures even cooking and creates space for the apple filling.
3. Add the Apple Filling
Spoon 1–2 tablespoons of apple pie filling onto the center of each flattened biscuit. Avoid overfilling to prevent spills during baking.
Pro Tip: For a lighter sweetness, use less apple filling per biscuit.
4. Bake Until Golden
Place the filled biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart. Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and puffed.
5. Make the Glaze
While the biscuits bake, prepare the glaze by mixing melted butter, powdered sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract in a small bowl. Stir until smooth and well combined.
Optional: Add a splash of milk to thin the glaze if it’s too thick.
6. Drizzle the Glaze
Once the biscuits are out of the oven, let them cool for 5 minutes. Generously drizzle the cinnamon-sugar glaze over each biscuit, allowing it to drip down the sides for a beautiful finish.
7. Serve and Enjoy
Serve the apple pie biscuits warm for maximum gooeyness and flavor. Pair with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat.
Tips for Success
Use High-Quality Apple Filling: Opt for premium canned apple pie filling or make your own for fresher flavor.
Don’t Overfill the Biscuits: Keep the apple portion moderate to prevent leaks during baking.
Make It Ahead: Prepare the biscuits up to a day in advance and reheat before serving.
Experiment with Toppings: Sprinkle crushed pecans or drizzle caramel sauce over the glaze for added crunch and sweetness.
Serve Warm: These biscuits are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven or reheated for a few minutes.
