Ingredients

For the Biscuits

• 8 frozen or cream biscuits (canned buttermilk biscuits work too)
• 1/2 cup butter, melted
• 1/2 cup light brown sugar
• 1 can (21 oz) apple pie filling (or homemade)
• 2 teaspoons vanilla essence
• 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

For the Glaze

• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 3 tablespoons cream

Instructions

1. Preheat & Prep: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush melted butter generously over the bottom and sides of a cast iron skillet or baking dish.
2. Mix Sugar & Spice: In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
3. Coat the Biscuits: Dip each biscuit in melted butter, then roll or sprinkle the sides with the sugar mixture for a sweet crust.
4. Add Filling: Arrange biscuits in the skillet and spoon apple pie filling evenly over the tops. Sprinkle with nuts if using.
5. Bake: Drizzle remaining butter over the biscuits and bake for 32–35 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
6. Make the Glaze: While baking, whisk together powdered sugar and cream until smooth. For a thicker glaze, add more sugar; for thinner, add a splash more cream.
7. Finish: Drizzle glaze generously over the hot biscuits as soon as they come out of the oven. Serve warm — and don’t forget a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence!

Notes & Tips

• 🍎 Homemade apple filling: Try using fresh apples sautéed with cinnamon, butter, and sugar for an autumnal upgrade.
• ⏰ Watch the bake time: Depending on your biscuit type, baking times can vary slightly.
• 🍨 Make it dessert-worthy: Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce.
