Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 can buttermilk biscuits
- 1 can apple pie filling
Spices and Seasonings:
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Fat and Sweeteners:
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
Icing:
- 1/2 cup confectioners sugar
- 1 tablespoon milk
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 375F (190C) and lightly grease a baking pan with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Create a fragrant cinnamon sugar blend by combining brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg in a small mixing bowl.
- Immerse each biscuit in melted butter, ensuring complete coverage, then generously roll in the prepared cinnamon sugar mixture.
- Carefully chop the apple pie filling into smaller, more manageable pieces to distribute evenly across the biscuits.
- Infuse the chopped apples with vanilla extract, gently mixing to enhance the flavor profile.
- Carefully arrange the butter-coated and cinnamon-sugar-dusted biscuits in the prepared baking pan.
- Distribute the vanilla-kissed apple mixture uniformly over the arranged biscuits, ensuring complete coverage.
- Drizzle any remaining melted butter across the top and sprinkle additional cinnamon sugar mixture for extra depth of flavor.
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 35 minutes, watching for a golden-brown transformation and complete cooking.
- Meanwhile, craft a smooth icing by whisking confectioners sugar with milk until achieving a silky, pourable consistency.
- Once baked to perfection, remove from the oven and immediately drizzle the prepared icing over the warm biscuits.
- Serve immediately to capture the optimal temperature and enjoy the delightful blend of flavors and textures.
Notes
- Enhance flavor by using freshly ground nutmeg for a more aromatic and intense taste profile.
- Transform this recipe into a gluten-free version by substituting regular biscuits with gluten-free alternatives and checking ingredient labels carefully.
- Experiment with different apple varieties like Honeycrisp or Granny Smith to create unique texture and sweetness variations in the filling.
- Reduce sugar content by using a sugar-free apple pie filling and replacing brown sugar with a monk fruit or stevia-based sweetener for a lower-calorie option.
