Ingredients
Scale
Biscuits and Sugar Mixture
- 1 can buttermilk biscuits
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 tbsp cinnamon
- â…› tsp nutmeg
- ½ cup melted butter
Apple Pie Filling and Flavoring
- 1 can apple pie filling
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Icing
- ½ cup confectioners’ sugar
- 1 tbsp milk
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking pan or skillet to ensure the biscuits don’t stick and to allow even baking.
- Mix Sugar and Spices: In a bowl, combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg thoroughly to create a fragrant and sweet coating for the biscuits.
- Coat Biscuits: Dip each buttermilk biscuit in the melted butter, then roll it completely in the prepared sugar and spice mixture so each biscuit is fully coated, adding flavor and a caramelized crust once baked.
- Arrange Biscuits: Place the coated biscuits evenly spaced in the greased baking pan to allow them room to expand and bake evenly.
- Prepare Apple Filling: Chop the apple pie filling into smaller pieces to distribute more evenly over the biscuits. Mix in the vanilla extract for added depth of flavor, then spread this apple mixture over the arranged biscuits.
- Add Toppings: Sprinkle any remaining sugar and spice mix over the top of the biscuits and drizzle any leftover melted butter over everything to enhance caramelization and moisture during baking.
- Bake Biscuits: Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, or until the biscuits turn golden brown and are cooked through with the apple topping bubbling nicely.
- Prepare Icing: As the biscuits bake, whisk together the confectioners’ sugar and milk until smooth to create a sweet, creamy icing.
- Serve: Once baked, drizzle the icing generously over the warm biscuits for a perfect finishing touch. Serve immediately for best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use fresh or canned apple pie filling depending on availability, but ensure it is not too watery to avoid soggy biscuits.
- You can adjust cinnamon and nutmeg quantities to suit your spice preference.
- For a richer taste, consider adding a pinch of salt to the sugar mixture to balance sweetness.
- Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an indulgent dessert.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat gently before serving.
