7. Step 7: Bake for 15–18 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
8. Step 8: While the biscuits are baking, whisk together the confectioners’ sugar, milk, and vanilla extract to make the glaze.
9. Step 9: Once baked, allow the biscuits to cool slightly, then drizzle with the glaze before serving.

Tips & Variations

• Use fresh apples sautéed with cinnamon if you prefer, instead of canned pie filling.
• For a richer flavor, add a pinch of ground cloves or ginger to the spice mix.
• If you like a thicker glaze, add a little more confectioners’ sugar or reduce the milk.
• These biscuits are delicious warm but can also be served at room temperature.

Storage

Store leftover apple pie biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, keep them in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat in a microwave or oven until warm before serving to refresh the texture and flavor.
