If you love the warm, spiced flavors of apple pie but want something quicker and easier to make, these Apple Pie Biscuits are the perfect solution! Imagine flaky buttermilk biscuits, stuffed with sweet, cinnamon-spiced apple filling, and coated in a buttery brown sugar glaze—all baked to golden perfection.

These biscuits are great for breakfast, brunch, or dessert, and the best part? They come together in under 30 minutes with just a handful of ingredients. Whether you serve them fresh out of the oven with a drizzle of caramel or enjoy them as a cozy snack with coffee or tea, they’re guaranteed to be a hit!

Let’s get started on this simple, delicious recipe that brings all the flavors of homemade apple pie—without all the work!

Step 1: Preheat the Oven & Prepare the Baking Dish

Before you start assembling your biscuits, you’ll want to preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

✔ Grease a baking dish with butter or nonstick spray, or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
✔ A 9×13-inch dish works well, but you can also use a baking sheet if you prefer more space between biscuits.

Step 2: Prepare the Apple Pie Filling

We’re using canned apple pie filling for convenience, but to make it easier to stuff into the biscuits:

✔ Chop the apple pie filling into smaller pieces. You want bite-sized apple chunks that spread evenly inside the biscuits.
✔ If you like extra flavor, you can sprinkle in a little extra cinnamon or nutmeg at this stage!

💡 Pro Tip: If you want a from-scratch filling, sauté peeled, diced apples with butter, sugar, cinnamon, and a splash of lemon juice until soft.

Step 3: Flatten the Biscuits

Next, take one can of buttermilk biscuits and:

✔ Separate each biscuit and place them on a clean surface or cutting board.
✔ Use your hands or a rolling pin to slightly flatten each biscuit—this makes it easier to add the filling and fold them without breaking.

💡 Pro Tip: Don’t roll them too thin—you want just enough space to hold the filling while still being able to seal the edges.

Step 4: Fill with Apples

✔ Spoon a small amount of apple pie filling onto the center of each flattened biscuit—about 1 tablespoon per biscuit.
✔ Try not to overfill, or the filling may spill out when baking!

Part 2: Sealing, Coating & Baking the Apple Pie Biscuits

Now that our flaky buttermilk biscuits are filled with warm, cinnamon-spiced apple pie filling, it’s time to seal them up, coat them in a rich buttery glaze, and bake them until golden brown. This is where the magic happens—the biscuits puff up, the filling becomes warm and gooey, and the cinnamon-sugar coating creates a sweet, caramelized crust that makes these treats completely irresistible.

Let’s move on to the next steps and get these Apple Pie Biscuits into the oven!

Step 5: Fold & Seal the Biscuits

✔ Take each filled biscuit and carefully fold it in half, forming a half-moon shape.
✔ Gently press the edges together and pinch to seal so the apple filling stays inside.
✔ If needed, use a fork to crimp the edges, which helps keep everything secure while also giving the biscuits a pretty, rustic look.

💡 Pro Tip: If your dough isn’t sealing well, lightly dampen the edges with a bit of water before pressing them together. This helps them stick better!

Step 6: Make the Buttery Cinnamon-Sugar Coating

Before baking, we’re going to coat our biscuits in a delicious cinnamon-sugar butter mixture to add richness and extra flavor.

✔ In a small bowl, mix together:

• ½ cup melted butter
• ½ cup brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon cinnamon
• ⅛ teaspoon nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

✔ Stir until smooth and combined. This will create a sweet, spiced glaze that caramelizes beautifully as the biscuits bake.

Step 7: Coat the Biscuits

✔ Dip each sealed biscuit into the butter mixture, making sure it’s well-coated.
✔ Place the coated biscuits in your prepared baking dish, arranging them in a single layer.
✔ If you have extra butter mixture, drizzle it over the top for even more flavor!

💡 Pro Tip: If you want a lighter version, you can brush the butter mixture onto the biscuits instead of dipping them.

Step 8: Bake Until Golden & Delicious

✔ Place the baking dish into the preheated 375°F (190°C) oven.
✔ Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until:

• The biscuits are golden brown and slightly puffed.
• The filling is bubbling and the butter mixture has caramelized.
  ✔ Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.

💡 Pro Tip: If you like extra crisp edges, bake the biscuits on a lined baking sheet instead of a baking dish. This allows more air circulation, making them crispier.

✔ Arrange the biscuits in a single layer, leaving space between them.
