👩🍳 How to Make Apple Pie Biscuits – Step-by-Step
Step 1: Prep the Pan
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish or oven-safe skillet with butter or non-stick spray.
Step 2: Mix the Sugar Coating
In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. This will be used to coat the biscuits and add flavor depth.
Step 3: Coat the Biscuits
Dip each biscuit in the melted butter, ensuring it’s fully covered. Then roll each biscuit in the brown sugar mixture. Place them in the greased dish, slightly spaced apart.
Step 4: Prepare the Apple Filling
Roughly chop the apple pie filling into small chunks for easier distribution. Stir in the vanilla extract to enhance the flavor.
Step 5: Add the Filling
Spoon the chopped apple filling evenly over the top of the biscuits. Drizzle any remaining melted butter over everything and sprinkle extra cinnamon-sugar mix if desired.
Step 6: Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, or until the tops are golden and the filling is bubbling.
Step 7: Make the Icing
While the biscuits are baking, mix the powdered sugar and milk in a bowl until smooth and pourable.
Step 8: Drizzle & Serve
Once baked, remove the biscuits from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Then drizzle with icing and serve warm!
