Ingredients
Scale
For the Biscuits:
- 1 can (8-count) refrigerated biscuit dough (or homemade biscuits)
- 1 tablespoon melted butter (for brushing)
For the Apple Filling:
- 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work best)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
- 2 tablespoons water (if using cornstarch)
For the Glaze (Optional):
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon milk (or more, for desired consistency)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Apple Filling
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.
- Add the diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir to coat.
- Cook for 5-7 minutes until the apples soften and release their juices.
- If using cornstarch, mix it with 2 tablespoons of water to form a slurry. Stir it into the apple mixture and cook for another 1-2 minutes until thickened.
- Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Let the filling cool slightly.
Step 2: Prepare the Biscuits
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Separate the biscuit dough and flatten each biscuit slightly.
- Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the apple filling into the center of half of the biscuits.
- Place the remaining biscuits over the filled ones and press the edges together to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges for a better seal.
Step 3: Bake the Biscuits
- Place the stuffed biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them.
- Brush the tops with melted butter for a golden finish.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
Step 4: Prepare the Glaze (Optional)
- In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Drizzle the glaze over the warm biscuits before serving.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
- Serve warm with a dusting of cinnamon sugar, caramel drizzle, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
- Enjoy your homemade Apple Pie Biscuits Recipe with coffee, tea, or as a sweet breakfast treat!
