Apple Pie Biscuits

Introduction

Welcome, fellow food enthusiasts, to another delectable journey in the world of baking! Today, I’m thrilled to share a unique twist on a classic favorite: Apple Pie Biscuits. This recipe is perfect for those who adore the comforting flavors of apple pie but crave the convenience and novelty of a biscuit. Ideal for cozy gatherings, brunches, or as a delightful treat for your family, these biscuits are sure to impress. Let’s dive into the magical combination of soft buttermilk biscuits and sweet apple pie filling, enhanced with a touch of cinnamon and a delightful glaze.

Ingredients

• 1 refrigerated tube – 8 buttermilk biscuits
• 21-ounce can apple pie filling
• ½ stick – unsalted butter (4 tbsp)
• ½ cup brown sugar
• 1 Tablespoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ⅛ teaspoon nutmeg
• For the Glazed Topping:
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 3 Tablespoons heavy cream

Kitchen Equipment Needed

• 10-inch round pan or skillet (9-inch pan is also suitable)
• Small bowl
• Pastry brush
• Mixing bowl
• Oven

Preparation

1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Begin by preheating your oven to 375 degrees. A 10-inch round pan or skillet is ideal for this recipe, but a 9-inch pan works just fine too. Melt the butter and brush the sides of your pan with it, setting aside the remaining butter for later use.
2. Sugar Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg. This mixture will not only add a delightful sweetness but also a warm, spiced flavor to your biscuits.
3. Coating Biscuits: Take each buttermilk biscuit and generously dip the top, side, and bottom in the sugar mixture. Arrange them in your prepared pan. Remember to reserve some of the sugar mixture for later.
4. Apple Pie Filling: Pour your apple pie filling into a separate bowl. For a more refined texture, slice the apples into smaller bite-sized pieces. Mix in the vanilla extract for an extra layer of flavor. Spoon this filling over the biscuits in your pan.
5. Final Touches: Sprinkle the remaining sugar mixture over the biscuits and apple filling. Drizzle them with the leftover melted butter for a rich, golden finish.
6. Baking: Place the pan in the oven and bake for about 35 minutes. If you’re using a 9-inch pan, it may take a bit longer. You’re looking for a golden-brown color and a bubbly filling.
7. Glazed Topping: While the biscuits bake, prepare the glaze. Mix powdered sugar with heavy cream until smooth. Once the biscuits are out of the oven and slightly cooled, drizzle this sweet glaze over them.
8. Serve Warm: These apple pie biscuits are best enjoyed warm, offering a comforting and indulgent experience.

Notes and Tips

• Biscuit Placement: For a visually appealing result, place the biscuits in a circular pattern, starting from the outside and working your way in.
• Apple Variety: Feel free to experiment with different types of apple pie fillings for varying flavors.
• Dairy-Free Option: Substitute the heavy cream in the glaze with a dairy-free alternative like almond or coconut milk.

Storage

Leftover apple pie biscuits can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, refrigerate them for up to a week. Reheat in the oven or microwave for a warm treat.

Food Pairings

These biscuits pair wonderfully with a cup of your favorite coffee or tea. For a more indulgent experience, serve them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
