Ingredients

For the Biscuits:

  • 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits)
  • 1 cup apple pie filling, chopped small
  • 2 tbsp melted butter
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp ground nutmeg

Optional Glaze:

  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1–2 tsp milk or cream
  • ¼ tsp vanilla extract

Method & Instructions

1️⃣ Preheat & Prep

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

2️⃣ Prepare Biscuit Filling

  • In a small bowl, mix together the apple pie filling, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined. This will create the warm, spiced apple center.

3️⃣ Assemble Biscuits

  • Open the can of refrigerated biscuit dough and separate the biscuits.
  • Flatten each biscuit slightly with your hands or a rolling pin to form a small disc.
  • Spoon a tablespoon of the apple mixture onto the center of each biscuit disc.
  • Carefully fold the edges over the filling, pinching to seal so none of the filling leaks out.

4️⃣ Brush & Bake

  • Place the filled biscuits on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Brush the tops with melted butter for golden, glossy biscuits.
  • Optional: Sprinkle a little extra brown sugar or cinnamon on top for added sweetness and spice.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 15–18 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

5️⃣ Optional Glaze

  • While the biscuits cool slightly, mix powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla in a small bowl until smooth.
  • Drizzle over the warm biscuits for a sweet finishing touch.

History & Formation

The humble biscuit has roots in early American and European baking. Originally a quick bread, biscuits became a staple in southern kitchens, beloved for their buttery, flaky texture. Meanwhile, apple pie has been a symbol of comfort and home since colonial America, with its spiced fruit filling capturing the essence of autumn.

The Apple Pie Biscuit is a modern fusion of these two traditions: the rustic simplicity of biscuits paired with the beloved flavors of apple pie, forming a handheld treat that’s easier and faster than making a full pie.

Baking Lovers’ Notes

  • For gooey centers: Use slightly underbaked apple filling so the biscuits stay moist.
  • For extra spice: Add a pinch of ginger or cloves to the apple mixture.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat in a warm oven for that “fresh-baked” feeling.
  • Freezer-friendly: Freeze unbaked assembled biscuits on a tray, then transfer to a bag. Bake from frozen adding a few extra minutes.

Conclusion

Apple Pie Biscuits are a perfect blend of convenience and comfort. They’re a quick way to enjoy the nostalgic taste of apple pie without the long prep and fuss of crust and layers. Each bite offers a soft, buttery exterior and a warm, cinnamon-spiced apple center, reminding us why simple, home-baked treats are always special.

Whether shared with family at breakfast, gifted to neighbors, or enjoyed with your favorite cup of tea, these biscuits bring a little sweetness and joy to every day.
