Ingredients
Scale
Biscuit and Sugar Mixture
- 1 can of buttermilk biscuits
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
Apple Filling
- 1 can apple pie filling
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Icing
- 1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar
- 1 tablespoon milk
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a pan or skillet to prevent the biscuits from sticking during baking.
- Make Sugar Spice Mix: In a bowl, thoroughly combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. This mixture will coat the biscuits and add a warm, spicy sweetness.
- Coat Biscuits: Dip each biscuit in melted butter, ensuring all sides are covered, then generously roll them in the sugar spice mix. Arrange the coated biscuits evenly in the prepared pan.
- Prepare Apple Filling: Chop the apple pie filling into smaller pieces for easier layering and mix in the vanilla extract to enhance the flavor. Spread this apple mixture evenly over the arranged biscuits.
- Top and Drizzle: Sprinkle any remaining sugar mixture evenly over the top of the filling and biscuits. Drizzle the remaining melted butter over everything to add richness and promote browning.
- Bake Biscuits: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 35 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top and fully cooked through.
- Prepare Icing and Serve: While the biscuits are baking, mix the confectioners’ sugar and milk until smooth to create a glaze. Once biscuits are warm from the oven, drizzle the icing over them before serving for a sweet finishing touch.
Notes
- Ensure the biscuits are evenly coated with the sugar mixture for consistent flavor and caramelization.
- Chopping the apple pie filling helps distribute the filling better and makes eating easier.
- Use freshly melted butter to help the sugar mixture stick well to the biscuits.
- You can substitute apple pie filling with homemade cooked apples if preferred.
- Serve warm for the best taste experience and softer texture.
