I still remember making these on a chilly morning during harvest season. The house smelled so good that my family wandered into the kitchen before the biscuits had finished baking. These biscuits turn any ordinary day into something special for all of us.
Ingredients
- Buttermilk biscuits in a can: Choose flaky style for tender layers and check for no added flavors
- Apple pie filling: Canned for convenience but look for varieties with chunks of real apple and lower syrup content if possible
- Butter, melted: Salted adds extra richness and flavor
- Brown sugar: Use dark for deeper caramel notes or light for a milder sweetness
- Cinnamon: Freshly ground has the biggest impact so check yours is fragrant
- Nutmeg: A pinch added to amplify the apple spices Always grate fresh if you can
- Vanilla extract: Real vanilla has far more depth than imitation
- Confectioners sugar for icing: Sift before using for a lump free glaze
- Milk: Just a splash will make the icing silky
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan:
- Lightly grease a baking pan or skillet making sure to cover the corners This keeps the biscuits from sticking and develops a golden crust
- Mix the Spices:
- Combine brown sugar cinnamon and nutmeg in a medium bowl Mix until there are no streaks of spice for even flavor distribution
- Coat the Biscuits:
- Dip each biscuit piece in melted butter ensuring all sides are generously coated Then roll in the sugar mixture pressing lightly so every surface gets a good layer
- Arrange Biscuits and Apples:
- Place the coated biscuits snugly in the greased pan Chop the apple pie filling into small pieces and stir in the vanilla Spoon the apple mixture evenly over the biscuits so every bite gets some fruit
- Finish Layering:
- Sprinkle any remaining sugar mixture over the apples and drizzle the last of the melted butter on top This forms a caramelized topping during baking
- Bake Until Golden:
- Bake in a preheated oven at three seventy five degrees Fahrenheit for thirty five minutes The biscuits should puff and the apples will bubble The top will look deeply golden brown
- Make the Icing and Serve:
- Mix confectioners sugar with milk in a small bowl stirring until smooth Drizzle the icing generously over the warm biscuits so it seeps into every crevice
