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 Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking pan or skillet to prevent sticking during baking.
- Mix Sugar and Spices: In a bowl, combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg to create a spiced sugar mixture for coating the biscuits.
- Coat Biscuits: Dip each individual biscuit in melted butter, ensuring all sides are coated. Then roll each biscuit thoroughly in the brown sugar and spice mixture until fully covered.
- Arrange Biscuits: Place the coated biscuits evenly spaced in the prepared baking pan or skillet, forming the base of the dessert.
- Prepare Apple Topping: Chop the canned apple pie filling into smaller pieces for more even distribution. Stir in the vanilla extract and spread this mixture evenly over the arranged biscuits.
- Finish with Toppings: Sprinkle any remaining sugar mixture over the apple topping and drizzle the leftover melted butter on top for added richness and caramelization.
- Bake Biscuits: Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes or until the biscuits turn golden brown and are fully cooked through, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Prepare Icing: While the biscuits bake, whisk together the confectioners’ sugar and milk until smooth to create a sweet glaze.
- Serve: Once removed from the oven, immediately drizzle the icing over the warm biscuits. Serve right away for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Use room temperature butter for easier dipping and even coating of biscuits.
- Adjust the cinnamon and nutmeg to taste depending on preference for spice intensity.
- For a thicker glaze, add less milk or more confectioners’ sugar accordingly.
- Biscuits can be substituted with homemade dough for a more rustic touch.
- Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a decadent treat.
