Nutritional Benefits:

• Apples: Rich in fiber and vitamin C, adding natural sweetness and flavor.
• Cinnamon and Nutmeg: Packed with antioxidants, these spices are known for their warming qualities and can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Ingredients:

• 1 can buttermilk biscuits 🥐
• 1 can apple pie filling 🍏
• ½ cup unsalted butter, melted 🧈
• ½ cup brown sugar 🟤
• 1 tbsp ground cinnamon 🌿
• ⅛ tsp ground nutmeg 🌰
• 1 tsp vanilla extract 🌸

For the Icing:

• ½ cup confectioners’ sugar 🍬
• 1 tbsp milk 🥛

Cooking Tips:

• Biscuit Coating: Coat each biscuit generously in butter and sugar for a caramelized, golden finish.
• Apple Pie Filling: Use a sharp knife to cut the apple slices in the filling into bite-sized pieces, making it easier to layer and eat.
• Icing Consistency: Adjust the icing by adding more milk for a thinner glaze or more sugar for a thicker drizzle.

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish or cast-iron skillet for baking.
2. Prepare Cinnamon Sugar Mixture: In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg, ensuring everything is evenly combined.
3. Dip and Coat Biscuits: Dip each buttermilk biscuit in the melted butter, making sure each is fully coated. Roll the biscuits in the cinnamon-sugar mixture to cover all sides.
4. Arrange Biscuits in Pan: Place the coated biscuits in your greased baking dish or skillet, arranging them in a single layer.
5. Add Apple Filling: Chop the apple pie filling into smaller pieces, then mix in the vanilla extract for extra flavor. Spread the filling evenly over the biscuits, allowing it to settle between them.
6. Top with Butter and Sugar Mixture: Drizzle any remaining melted butter over the biscuits, then sprinkle with any leftover cinnamon-sugar mixture for extra sweetness and crunch.
7. Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through. The filling should be bubbly, and the top should be slightly crisp.
8. Prepare the Icing: While the biscuits bake, whisk together the confectioners’ sugar and milk in a small bowl until smooth. Adjust the consistency as needed.
9. Drizzle and Serve: Once the biscuits are out of the oven and slightly cooled, drizzle the icing over the warm biscuits. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve these Apple Pie Biscuits warm with a hot cup of coffee, cider, or tea for a comforting fall treat. They also pair well with a scoop of vanilla ice cream if you’re enjoying them as a dessert!

Storage Tips:

• Room Temperature: Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
