Kitchen Equipment Needed

  • Baking pan or oven-safe skillet
  • Mixing bowls for sugar mixture and icing
  • Small knife for chopping apple filling
  • Spoon for drizzling icing

Serving and Storage Tips

  • Serving: Serve warm for the best flavor. These biscuits are delicious on their own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheating: Warm leftovers in the microwave for about 15 seconds or in the oven at 300°F (150°C) until heated through.

Variations

  • Homemade Apple Filling: For a fresh twist, make your own apple filling by cooking chopped apples with a bit of sugar, cinnamon, and a splash of lemon juice until softened.
  • Add Nuts: Sprinkle chopped walnuts or pecans on top before baking for a crunchy texture.
  • Caramel Drizzle: Instead of icing, drizzle warm caramel sauce over the biscuits for a caramel apple flavor.

Helpful Tips

  • Even Coating: Be sure to coat the biscuits completely with butter and cinnamon-sugar for full flavor.
  • Prevent Sogginess: Drain the apple filling slightly to avoid extra liquid pooling at the bottom of the pan.
  • Crispier Biscuits: Bake for an additional 5 minutes if you prefer a slightly crispier edge.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can I use homemade biscuits instead of canned?
Yes, homemade biscuits work well, but adjust baking time slightly if needed.

2. What if I don’t have apple pie filling?
You can substitute with fresh apples by cooking them with sugar, cinnamon, and a little water or lemon juice.

3. Can I make this recipe dairy-free?
Use dairy-free butter and icing made with plant-based milk for a dairy-free version.

4. Can I use regular granulated sugar instead of brown sugar?
Yes, but brown sugar adds a deeper, caramel-like flavor. Granulated sugar will give a lighter sweetness.

5. Can I make these in advance?
These biscuits are best fresh, but you can prepare and assemble them the night before, then bake in the morning.

These Apple Pie Biscuits are the perfect blend of warm, cozy flavors and textures. They’re easy to make, filled with delicious cinnamon-apple goodness, and a great way to start or end your day with a little indulgence!
