Ingredients
Scale
Biscuits and Coating
- 1 can buttermilk biscuits
- ½ cup melted butter
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 tbsp cinnamon
- â…› tsp nutmeg
Apple Filling
- 1 can apple pie filling
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Icing
- ½ cup confectioners’ sugar
- 1 tbsp milk
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking pan or skillet to prevent sticking.
- Mix Sugar and Spices: In a medium bowl, combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg, creating a fragrant and flavorful coating mixture.
- Coat Biscuits: Dip each buttermilk biscuit into the melted butter, then roll it thoroughly in the sugar and spice mixture until fully coated for a sweet, spicy crust.
- Arrange Biscuits: Place the coated biscuits evenly in the prepared baking pan to ensure even baking.
- Prepare Apple Filling: Chop the apple pie filling into smaller pieces for easier serving and stir in the vanilla extract to enhance flavor. Spread this mixture evenly over the arranged biscuits.
- Add Final Touches: Sprinkle any leftover sugar mixture on top of the apple-layered biscuits and drizzle with the remaining melted butter to promote browning and moisture.
- Bake: Bake the assembled biscuits in the preheated oven for 35 minutes or until they turn golden and are cooked through.
- Make Icing: While the biscuits bake, mix the confectioners’ sugar and milk until smooth to create a sweet icing.
- Serve: Once baked, drizzle the icing over the warm biscuits and serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free biscuit dough and confirm apple pie filling is gluten-free.
- Make sure to evenly coat all biscuits for consistent flavor and texture.
- Allow biscuits to cool slightly before drizzling icing to prevent it from melting completely.
- Use canned apple pie filling for convenience, or substitute with homemade apple compote.
- This recipe is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
