🥧 Introduction

Apple Pie Biscuits combine two Southern kitchen favorites into one glorious treat. Imagine warm, golden buttermilk biscuits hugging tender apple pie filling, then brushed with buttery cinnamon-sugar glaze. Whether it’s a lazy Sunday brunch, a holiday treat, or an anytime craving, these Apple Pie Biscuits are joy in every bite. Easy enough for beginners, delicious enough to become a tradition.

🧺 Ingredients

For the Biscuit Apple Pie Bake:

  • 1 can (8-count) buttermilk biscuits (Grands-style or similar)
  • 1 can (about 21 oz) apple pie filling
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • ½ cup brown sugar (light or dark)
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional but recommended)
  • Pinch of salt
  • Cooking spray or a bit of butter for greasing pan

Optional Icing (Drizzle on Top):

  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1–2 tablespoons milk or cream
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

📝 Instructions

Step 1: Preheat & Prep

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Grease a baking dish or 9×9 inch pan with butter or cooking spray.

Step 2: Chop & Spice Apples

  • Open the can of apple pie filling and roughly chop the apples into smaller pieces (this helps distribute the filling better inside the biscuits).
  • Mix apple pieces with a sprinkle of cinnamon and vanilla extract in a bowl. Set aside.

Step 3: Assemble the Biscuits

  • Separate the biscuit dough.
  • Flatten each biscuit slightly using your hand or the bottom of a cup.
  • Spoon about a tablespoon of apple filling into the center of each.
  • Fold or pinch the biscuit edges up around the filling (you can fully encase it like a dumpling, or just nestle the filling inside like an open-faced tart).

Step 4: Glaze Before Baking

  • Mix melted butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
  • Pour or brush this mixture over the biscuits evenly.

Step 5: Bake

  • Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until golden brown, bubbly, and the tops are slightly crisp.

Step 6: (Optional) Drizzle with Icing

  • Mix powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
  • Drizzle generously over warm biscuits.

🧑‍🍳 Methods & Tips

  • Chopping the apples makes it easier to stuff the biscuits without tearing the dough.
  • Don’t overfill the biscuit or it may burst during baking.
  • You can add chopped pecans or walnuts into the filling for crunch.
  • For more indulgence, serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

🕰️ History

Apple pie and biscuits both carry deep American roots. Apple pie originated in Europe but became iconic in the U.S. over centuries. Buttermilk biscuits are a cornerstone of Southern cuisine. Marrying the two likely evolved in Southern kitchens as a way to combine comfort, tradition, and simplicity. This recipe is a delightful example of culinary fusion at its coziest.

🌿 Benefits

  • Quick and easy: Made with pantry staples, ready in under an hour.
  • Customizable: Can be adapted with other fillings (peach, cherry, blueberry).
  • Comfort food: Warm spices and apples help boost mood and create cozy nostalgia.
  • Great for kids: Simple enough to make with children and endlessly fun to eat.

🧩 Formation (How It Comes Together)

The buttermilk biscuit dough acts as a flaky vessel for the soft, spiced apple filling. As it bakes, the sugars and butter caramelize around the dough, giving a gooey, golden crust. The drizzle of icing seals the deal with a sweet, creamy finish.
