Ingredients
For the Biscuits:
- 1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated buttermilk biscuits (8 biscuits)
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
For the Apple Filling:
- 4 medium apples (such as Granny Smith or Gala), peeled, cored, and diced
- 3–4 tablespoons lemon juice
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
-
For the Glaze:
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 3 tablespoons heavy cream
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 10-inch round baking pan or skillet with melted butter.
- Prepare the Apple Filling: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the diced apples, lemon juice, and granulated sugar. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the apples are tender and the mixture has thickened, about 15-20 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Prepare the Sugar-Spice Mixture: In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined.
-
Coat the Biscuits: Separate the biscuits and dip each one into the melted butter, ensuring both sides are coated. Then, press each biscuit into the sugar-spice mixture, covering both sides.
-
Assemble in the Pan: Arrange the coated biscuits in the prepared pan, slightly overlapping if necessary. Spoon the cooked apple mixture evenly over the top of the biscuits. Sprinkle any remaining sugar-spice mixture over the apples, and drizzle with any leftover melted butter.
-
Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
-
Prepare the Glaze: While the biscuits are baking, whisk together the powdered sugar and heavy cream in a small bowl until smooth.
-
Glaze and Serve: Once the biscuits are done, remove them from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Drizzle the glaze over the warm biscuits before serving.
