- 1 can (16.3 oz) buttermilk biscuits (8-count, such as Pillsbury Grands!)
→ Fruit Filling
- 1 can (21 oz) apple pie filling
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
→ Spice Mixture
- ½ cup packed brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg

- 120 grams (½ cup / 1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
→ Icing
- 60 grams (½ cup) confectioners’ sugar
- 15 milliliters (1 tablespoon) milk

Instructions
Step 1: Preheat & Prep
- Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) .
- Lightly grease a 9-inch round baking dish, oven-safe skillet, or square baking pan with non-stick spray or butter to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Make the Spice Mixture
- In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined. Set aside.
Step 3: Coat the Biscuits
- Pour the melted butter into a shallow bowl.
- One at a time, dip each biscuit into the butter , turning to coat all sides.
- Roll the butter-coated biscuit in the spice-sugar mixture until fully covered.
- Place the coated biscuits in the prepared pan, arranging them snugly in a single layer.
🍞 Pro Tip: Don’t skip the butter dip — it creates a caramelized, sticky-sweet crust as they bake!
Step 4: Prepare the Apple Filling
- Transfer the apple pie filling to a bowl.
- Use a knife or kitchen shears to chop the apple pieces into smaller bits for even distribution.
- Stir in the vanilla extract to deepen the flavor.
Step 5: Add the Apples & Finish the Pan
- Spoon the apple mixture evenly over the arranged biscuits.
- Sprinkle any remaining spice-sugar mixture on top for extra crunch and warmth.
- Drizzle with any leftover melted butter for richness.
Step 6: Bake to Golden Perfection
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 35 minutes , or until:
- The biscuits are golden brown
- The apples are bubbling
- A toothpick inserted into a biscuit comes out clean
⏱️ Let it cool for 5–10 minutes — the aroma will be impossible to resist!
Step 7: Make & Drizzle the Icing
- While the biscuits are still warm, prepare the icing:
- In a small bowl, whisk confectioners’ sugar and milk until smooth and pourable.
- Add a splash of vanilla if desired.
- Drizzle the icing generously over the top in zig-zag motions.
Serving Suggestions
- Serve warm — the contrast of gooey apples, soft biscuits, and cool icing is heavenly.
- Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence.
- Great for breakfast, dessert, or a sweet brunch treat.
Storage Tips
- Room temperature: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days .
- Reheat: Warm in the microwave (20–30 seconds) or oven (10 mins at 350°F) to restore softness.
- Freezing: Not recommended — the texture of the biscuits may suffer after thawing.
