  • 1 can (21 ounces) apple pie filling
  • ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted

  • 1 tablespoon milk

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Directions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 10-inch cast-iron skillet or a baking dish to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare the Sugar Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Mix well to ensure even distribution of spices.
  3. Coat the Biscuits: Dip each biscuit into the melted butter, ensuring it’s fully coated. Then, roll each biscuit in the sugar mixture, covering all sides.
  4. Arrange in the Pan: Place the coated biscuits in the prepared skillet or baking dish, arranging them evenly with slight spaces between each.
  5. Add the Apple Filling: Chop the apple pie filling into smaller pieces and mix in the vanilla extract. Spoon the filling evenly over the top of the biscuits.
  6. Bake: Pour any remaining melted butter over the biscuits. Sprinkle any leftover sugar mixture on top. Bake for 35 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and the apple filling is bubbling.
  7. Prepare the Icing: While the biscuits are baking, whisk together the confectioners’ sugar and milk in a small bowl until smooth.
  8. Finish and Serve: Once baked, remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool slightly. Drizzle the icing over the warm biscuits before serving.
