Ingredients

Scale

Dough and Filling

  • 1 can buttermilk biscuits (typically 8 biscuits, 16 oz)
  • 1 can apple pie filling (about 21 oz)

Toppings and Glaze

  • ½ cup melted butter
  • ½ cup brown sugar (packed)
  • 1 tbsp cinnamon
  • ⅛ tsp nutmeg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup confectioners’ sugar
  • 1 tbsp milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s ready when you’re done assembling the biscuits.
  2. Prepare Filling Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside for layering over the biscuits.
  3. Prepare Biscuits: Open the can of buttermilk biscuits and separate each biscuit. Flatten each biscuit slightly with your hands or a rolling pin to create a small disc for filling.
  4. Fill Biscuits: Place a spoonful of apple pie filling onto the center of each flattened biscuit. Fold the biscuit edges over the filling and pinch to seal, forming a sealed packet.
  5. Arrange Biscuits: Place the filled biscuits evenly on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving a bit of space between each.
  6. Brush with Butter and Sprinkle Sugar: Brush the tops of the biscuits generously with melted butter. Then sprinkle the cinnamon-brown sugar mixture evenly over each biscuit.
  7. Bake Biscuits: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
  8. Prepare Glaze: While the biscuits bake, whisk together the confectioners’ sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth to create a drizzle glaze.
  9. Drizzle and Serve: Once the biscuits are done baking and slightly cooled, drizzle the glaze on top. Serve warm and enjoy!
