There’s something special about the aroma of warm spices and sweet apples baking in the oven—it brings comfort, nostalgia, and a sense of home. These apple pie biscuits capture all of that in one easy-to-make, pull-apart treat. Imagine soft buttermilk biscuits layered with spiced apple pie filling, then drizzled with a smooth glaze. It’s like enjoying the best parts of apple pie without the fuss of rolling out crusts.
This recipe is perfect for cozy weekends, holiday brunches, or even as a dessert served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. It combines pantry staples like canned apple pie filling, brown sugar, cinnamon, and pre-made biscuit dough, so you can whip it up quickly without sacrificing flavor. The process is simple: coat the biscuits in spiced sugar, layer them with apple filling, and finish with a buttery drizzle before baking. The result is golden, gooey, and filled with spiced apple flavor in every bite.
The optional glaze on top gives just the right touch of sweetness, making this dish irresistible whether served for breakfast or dessert. This is the kind of recipe that turns ordinary moments into memorable ones.
Ingredients (Serves 6–8):
- 1 tube (8-count) refrigerated buttermilk biscuits
- 1 (21 oz) can of apple pie filling
- 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
For the Glaze:
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 3 tablespoons heavy cream
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F. Use a 10-inch round baking pan or skillet (a 9-inch pan will also work but may require slightly longer baking). Brush the sides of the pan with some of the melted butter and set the rest aside.
In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Dip each biscuit into the mixture, coating the top, bottom, and sides, and arrange them in the prepared pan. Reserve the remaining sugar mixture.
Empty the apple pie filling into a bowl and chop the apples into small, bite-sized pieces. Stir in the vanilla extract. Spoon the apple mixture evenly over the top of the biscuits. Sprinkle the remaining sugar-spice mix over the top and drizzle with the rest of the melted butter.
Bake for about 35 minutes, or until the biscuits are fully cooked through and golden brown. If using a smaller pan, check for doneness with a toothpick and add more time as needed.
For the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar and heavy cream until smooth. Drizzle over the warm biscuits just before serving.
