 Ingredients You’ll Need:
- 1 can of buttermilk biscuits (8-count or jumbo style)
- 1 can of apple pie filling (about 21 oz)
- ½ cup melted butter
- ½ cup brown sugar (light or dark)
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- â…› teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Icing:
- ½ cup powdered (confectioners’) sugar
- 1 tablespoon milk (plus more if needed for desired consistency)
 Instructions – Step by Step:
 1. Preheat and Prep
Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a round skillet, a deep-dish pie pan, or even a small baking dish. Set aside.
 2. Make the Cinnamon-Sugar Mixture
In a small bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. This blend is going to coat the biscuits and give them that iconic cinnamon-sugar crust that caramelizes beautifully in the oven.
 3. Prep the Biscuits
Open your can of buttermilk biscuits. One by one, dip each biscuit into the melted butter, making sure to coat all sides well. Then roll the biscuit in the cinnamon-sugar mixture to fully coat. Place them snugly in your greased baking pan.
Tip: If you want more gooeyness, slightly flatten the biscuits and overlap them slightly in the pan for extra surface area!
 4. Add the Apple Filling
Empty the apple pie filling into a bowl and chop the apples into smaller chunks using a knife or kitchen scissors. Add the vanilla extract and stir to combine.
Evenly spoon the apple mixture over the biscuits, making sure to tuck some in between them too for pockets of gooey apple goodness.
 5. Add the Finishing Touches
Sprinkle any remaining cinnamon sugar over the top, then drizzle the rest of the melted butter on top of everything. This step creates a syrupy, sticky, golden brown crust while baking.
 6. Bake Until Golden & Bubbling
Bake in your preheated oven for about 35 minutes, or until the biscuits are puffed and golden and the filling is bubbling around the edges.
Tip: If the top is browning too quickly but the center isn’t done yet, loosely cover with foil and continue baking.
 Make the Simple Icing
While the biscuits bake, make a quick vanilla glaze by whisking together:
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon milk
Adjust the consistency as needed by adding more milk (for a thinner drizzle) or more sugar (for a thicker icing).
 Final Assembly – Drizzle & Serve
Once the biscuits come out of the oven, let them cool for 5–10 minutes. Then drizzle the icing generously over the top. Serve them warm with a cup of coffee, or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a full-on dessert experience.
