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.
