These biscuits are easy to prepare and bake up golden with a crisp exterior and a soft, spiced apple filling. The use of refrigerated biscuit dough keeps prep quick, while fresh apples simmered in brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla provide the rich, comforting flavor of classic apple pie. A touch of nutmeg deepens the spice profile, and a drizzle of icing or caramel sauce takes the indulgence to another level.

What’s especially appealing is how versatile these apple pie biscuits can be. Serve them as a grab-and-go breakfast, an afternoon pick-me-up, or an easy dessert with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. They’re just as welcome on a holiday brunch table as they are on a lazy Sunday morning.

Servings: 8
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Bake Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients:

• 1 can (8-count) refrigerated biscuits (such as Pillsbury Grands)
• 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• ¼ teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• Optional: icing or caramel sauce, for drizzling

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
2. In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg (if using), and vanilla extract. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until apples are tender and caramelized. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
3. Flatten each biscuit slightly with your hands or a rolling pin. Spoon a small portion of the apple filling into the center of each biscuit.
4. Fold the biscuit dough over the filling, pinching the edges tightly to seal. Place seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
5. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and fully cooked through.
6. Let cool for a few minutes before serving. Drizzle with icing or warm caramel sauce, if desired.

Variations:

• Add Nuts: Stir in a handful of chopped pecans or walnuts to the apple filling for added crunch.

• Spice It Up: Add a dash of clove or allspice to enhance the warm fall flavors.

• Mini Pies: Use mini muffin tins to create bite-sized versions of these apple pie biscuits.

• Glazed Finish: Mix powdered sugar with a splash of milk and vanilla for a simple icing drizzle.

Tips:

• Use firm apples like Honeycrisp, Gala, or Granny Smith for the best texture.

• Don’t overfill the biscuits—just a spoonful of filling is enough to prevent leakage.

• Press the edges well to ensure the filling stays inside during baking.

• Best enjoyed warm, but leftovers can be reheated in the oven or microwave.

These Apple Pie Biscuits are a warm hug in every bite — sweet, spiced, and wonderfully simple to make.
