Ingredients
Scale
Biscuits and Filling
- 1 can of buttermilk biscuits
- 1 can apple pie filling
Spice and Sugar Mixture
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
Butter and Flavoring
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Icing
- 1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar
- 1 tablespoon milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a pan or skillet to prevent sticking and prepare for the biscuits.
- Prepare the sugar spice mix: In a bowl, combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg, mixing thoroughly to ensure an even blend of spices.
- Coat the biscuits: Dip each buttermilk biscuit into the melted butter, ensuring all sides are covered. Then, roll each butter-coated biscuit in the brown sugar and spice mixture. Arrange the coated biscuits evenly in the prepared pan.
- Prepare the apple filling: Chop the apple pie filling into smaller pieces for easier eating and mix in the vanilla extract to enhance flavor. Spread this mixture evenly over the arranged biscuits.
- Add topping: Sprinkle any remaining sugar and spice mixture over the apple layers, then drizzle with the remaining melted butter to add extra moisture and flavor.
- Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 35 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown and fully cooked through.
- Make the icing and serve: While the biscuits bake, mix the confectioners’ sugar and milk until smooth. Once the biscuits are warm from the oven, drizzle this icing over the top before serving to add a sweet finishing touch.
Notes
- Ensure the biscuits are fully cooked by checking for a golden brown color and fluffy texture in the center.
- You can substitute apple pie filling with homemade spiced apples for a fresher taste.
- For a dairy-free version, use a plant-based butter and substitute milk in the icing with almond or oat milk.
- Serve these biscuits warm for the best taste and texture.
