Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 8 frozen or easy cream biscuits
- 1 can apple pie filling (21 oz)
- 1 cup walnuts or pecans
Supporting Ingredients:
- ½ cup butter
- ½ cup light brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla essence
Finishing Ingredients:
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 3 tablespoons cream
- ⅛ teaspoon nutmeg
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F. Generously brush a cast iron skillet with ¼ cup melted butter, coating every surface.
- In a medium bowl, combine ½ cup light brown sugar, 1 tsp ground cinnamon, and ⅛ tsp nutmeg until well mixed.
- Dunk each frozen biscuit completely into the remaining ¼ cup melted butter, ensuring full coverage.
- Roll each butter-coated biscuit through the sugar mixture, creating a thorough, even coating.
- Arrange the sugar-crusted biscuits in the prepared skillet, leaving slight space between each.
- Spoon ½ cup of apple pie filling over each biscuit, distributing the fruit evenly with the back of your spoon.
- Drizzle an additional 2 tablespoons of melted butter across the top of the biscuits.
- Sprinkle 1 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans over the biscuits if desired for extra crunch.
- Bake at 375°F for 32-35 minutes until biscuits rise and turn golden brown.
- While baking, whisk ½ cup powdered sugar with 3 tablespoons cream to create a smooth glaze.
- Remove biscuits from the oven and immediately drizzle with prepared glaze.
- Serve the biscuits warm, straight from the skillet for maximum deliciousness.
Notes
- Fresh apples make a huge difference, so choose crisp, firm varieties like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for the best filling.
- Cast iron skillet creates a perfect golden-brown crust with even heat distribution, but a regular baking pan works just fine.
- For a gluten-free version, swap regular biscuit mix with a gluten-free alternative and ensure your apple pie filling is also gluten-free.
- Storing leftovers? Warm these biscuits briefly in the oven to restore their crispy texture and revive that fresh-baked taste.
