Ingredients for Apple Pie Biscuits

Here’s everything you’ll need to make these irresistible treats. I always double-check my pantry before starting. Nothing worse than realizing you’re out of cinnamon mid-recipe!

• 1 can buttermilk biscuits (16.3 oz) – the flaky kind works best
• 1 can apple pie filling (21 oz) – you’ll want to chop the apples into smaller pieces
• ½ cup butter, melted (that’s 1 stick)
• ½ cup packed brown sugar – dark brown gives the best flavor
• 1 tablespoon cinnamon – use the good stuff!
• ⅛ teaspoon nutmeg – just a pinch makes all the difference
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract – pure vanilla if you have it
• ½ cup confectioners’ sugar – sifted if it’s lumpy
• 1 tablespoon milk – any kind will do

See? Nothing fancy, just simple ingredients that create magic together.

Equipment You’ll Need

Don’t worry, you probably already have everything you need to make these Apple Pie Biscuits. Here’s the short list:

• 9×13 inch baking dish or oven-safe skillet
• Small mixing bowl for the cinnamon sugar
• Whisk or fork for the glaze
• Pastry brush (optional, but handy for butter)

That’s it! No fancy gadgets required, just a few basics to whip up this cozy treat.

How to Make Apple Pie Biscuits

Okay, let’s get to the fun part: turning those simple ingredients into the most delicious apple pie biscuits you’ve ever tasted. I promise it’s easier than you think, and the smell alone will make your kitchen feel like a cozy bakery. Here’s exactly how I do it:

Preparing the Cinnamon Sugar Coating

First things first, that irresistible cinnamon sugar coating! Grab your small mixing bowl and combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, and that pinch of nutmeg. I like to use my fingers to break up any clumps in the brown sugar—you want it nice and sandy. The mix should smell heavenly and look like wet sand when you pinch it together. This is where the magic starts!

Assembling and Baking the Biscuits

Now for the messy-but-fun part! Dip each biscuit in the melted butter, letting the excess drip off (careful, it’s hot!). Then roll it in the cinnamon sugar mixture, making sure to coat all sides. I sometimes use my hands for this, totally worth the sticky fingers! Arrange the coated biscuits in your greased baking dish. They’ll cozy up next to each other as they bake, that’s perfect!

Next, chop that apple pie filling into smaller chunks (big pieces make the biscuits hard to eat) and stir in the vanilla. Spoon this goodness over the biscuits, then sprinkle any leftover cinnamon sugar on top. Drizzle with the remaining butter, yes, more butter! Bake at 375°F for about 35 minutes until they’re golden brown and the filling is bubbly. Your kitchen will smell like heaven!

Making the Glaze

While the biscuits cool slightly, whisk together the confectioners’ sugar and milk until smooth. Want it thicker? Add more sugar. Thinner? A few more drops of milk. Drizzle this over the warm biscuits right before serving, the heat helps it melt into every nook and cranny. Oh, and don’t skimp, that glaze is the perfect finishing touch!

Tips for Perfect Apple Pie Biscuits

After making these dozens of times (okay, maybe hundreds – don’t judge!), I’ve learned a few tricks for can’t-miss results every time:

• Fresh is best: If your canned pie filling has been sitting around awhile, taste it first. Stale filling = bland biscuits.
• Watch the clock: Set a timer at 30 minutes – overbaked biscuits turn tough. They’re done when bubbling and golden, not dark brown.
• Serve warm: These are at their absolute best fresh from the oven when the glaze melts into all the nooks.
• Double dip: For extra flavor, dip the biscuit tops in butter and sugar again halfway through baking.

Little things make a big difference with this simple recipe!

Serving Suggestions for Apple Pie Biscuits

These biscuits are perfect on their own, but for an extra treat, try them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. Pure bliss!

Storing and Reheating Apple Pie Biscuits

These biscuits are best fresh, but if you have leftovers (lucky you!), store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To reheat, pop them in the microwave for 15-20 seconds or warm them in a 300°F oven for 5 minutes, just enough to bring back that fresh-baked magic!
