Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 can buttermilk biscuits
- 1 can apple pie filling
Spices and Sweeteners:
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) butter, melted
- 1/2 cup (100 grams) brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Icing:
- 1/2 cup (60 grams) confectioners sugar
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) milk
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 375F (190C) and lightly coat a baking pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Create a fragrant sugar mixture by combining brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a mixing bowl.
- Dunk each biscuit completely in melted butter, ensuring total coverage.
- Generously coat the butter-drenched biscuits in the spiced sugar blend, rotating to achieve an even layer.
- Carefully position the sugar-crusted biscuits in the prepared baking pan, allowing slight spacing between each.
- Dice the apple pie filling into smaller, more manageable chunks to distribute evenly.
- Enhance the apple mixture with a splash of vanilla extract, stirring gently to incorporate.
- Distribute the chopped apple filling uniformly across the arranged biscuits.
- Sprinkle any remaining sugar mixture over the top for additional caramelization.
- Drizzle the residual melted butter across the biscuits and filling to boost moisture and flavor.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, watching for a golden-brown color and complete cooking.
- While baking, whisk confectioners sugar and milk until a smooth, pourable icing forms.
- Once baked, remove from oven and immediately drizzle the white icing over the warm biscuits.
- Serve hot, allowing guests to indulge in the warm, gooey dessert.
Notes
- Customize the sweetness by adjusting the amount of brown sugar and cinnamon to suit your taste preferences.
- Swap store-bought apple pie filling with homemade caramelized fresh apples for a more authentic flavor profile.
- Use gluten-free biscuit mix and dairy-free butter alternatives to make this recipe friendly for those with dietary restrictions.
- For a nutty twist, sprinkle chopped pecans or walnuts over the biscuits before baking to add extra crunch and depth of flavor.
