1. Preheat the Oven
Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking pan or skillet by lightly greasing it with butter or non-stick spray. Proper preparation will prevent sticking and ensure an even bake.
2. Prepare the Sugar Mixture
In a medium bowl, combine:
½ cup brown sugar
1 tbsp cinnamon
⅛ tsp nutmeg
Mix well to evenly distribute the spices and sugar. This blend creates a rich, spiced coating that will caramelize on the biscuits for added flavor.
3. Coat the Biscuits
Dip each buttermilk biscuit into melted butter (about ½ cup), making sure each one is fully coated.
Roll each biscuit in the sugar mixture until all sides are evenly covered. This coating will help the biscuits achieve a golden, caramelized crust.
Tip: For even coating, press each biscuit gently into the sugar mixture so the spices adhere well.
4. Arrange the Biscuits
Ingredients Overview
Here’s everything you’ll need for this scrumptious recipe:
1 can of buttermilk biscuits: Provides the buttery base with a tender, flaky texture. Store-bought biscuits make this recipe quick and easy.
1 can of apple pie filling: The heart of the recipe, this filling brings the sweet, spiced apple flavor that makes each bite reminiscent of homemade apple pie.
½ cup melted butter: Adds richness and helps the brown sugar mixture adhere to each biscuit.
½ cup brown sugar: Adds sweetness and a hint of caramel flavor that pairs beautifully with the apples.
1 tbsp cinnamon: Essential for a warm, cozy aroma that complements the apple filling.
⅛ tsp nutmeg: Just a hint adds depth, enhancing the overall spice profile.
1 tsp vanilla extract: Balances the spices and brings out the natural sweetness of the apples.
For the Icing:
Place the coated biscuits in the prepared pan. Be sure to arrange them evenly, allowing a bit of space between each biscuit so they bake uniformly.
5. Add the Apple Pie Filling
Chop the apple pie filling into smaller pieces, then mix in 1 tsp vanilla extract.
Spread the filling evenly over the biscuits, pressing it lightly to ensure good coverage. This step adds that authentic apple pie taste to each bite.
Tip: To enhance flavor, consider using homemade filling like in this Homemade Apple Pie Filling Recipe.
6. Bake
Bake for 35 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and the apple filling is bubbling. Ensure that the biscuits are fully cooked in the center before removing them from the oven.
7. Prepare the Icing
While the biscuits bake, combine ½ cup confectioners’ sugar and 1 tbsp milk in a small bowl. Stir until smooth to create a drizzle-worthy icing.
8. Finish and Serve
Once the biscuits are out of the oven, drizzle the icing over the warm biscuits. Serve immediately and enjoy the fusion of apple pie and buttermilk biscuits!
Preparation Tips and Tricks for Perfect Apple Pie Biscuits
Creating the perfect Apple Pie Biscuits is easy with a few helpful tips and tricks to elevate flavor and presentation.
Choosing the Right Apple Pie Filling
For a quick and convenient option, go with a canned apple pie filling that has a balanced sweetness and a hint of cinnamon. However, if you prefer a more customized taste, making your own filling can add a personal touch and fresh flavor.
Homemade apple pie filling allows you to control the sugar and spice levels.
Boosting Flavor
For an extra layer of warmth, add a pinch of ground cloves to the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture. Cloves complement the apple flavor, adding depth and a hint of spice.
Using homemade buttermilk biscuits instead of canned can make these even more special.
Mix a touch of orange zest or a splash of almond extract into the icing to enhance the flavor profile.
Achieving the Perfect Glaze Consistency
When preparing the icing, aim for a smooth and pourable consistency. Start by adding 1 tbsp milk to ½ cup confectioners’ sugar, stirring well. If the mixture is too thick, add a few extra drops of milk until you reach the desired consistency.
For a glossy finish, pour the icing over warm biscuits, letting it melt slightly into the cracks, enhancing both presentation and taste.
