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.
