Ingredients

For the Apple Pie Filling

• 4 medium apples, peeled, cored, and cut into small pieces
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1/3 cup brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water

For the Biscuit Layer

• 1 can refrigerated buttermilk biscuits, about 16 ounces
• 3 tablespoons melted butter
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

For the Cinnamon Sugar Glaze

• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1–2 tablespoons milk
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Apples

Start by peeling, coring, and chopping the apples into small, bite-sized pieces. Keeping the pieces relatively similar in size helps them cook evenly.

For the best texture, choose apples that hold their shape during baking rather than becoming completely mushy. A mixture of sweet and slightly tart apples also gives the filling a more balanced flavor.

Set the prepared apples aside while you make the filling.

2. Make the Cinnamon Apple Filling

Place a large skillet over medium heat and add the butter.

Once the butter has melted, add the chopped apples, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, and lemon juice.

Stir everything together and cook for about 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally. The apples should begin to soften and become coated in the buttery cinnamon mixture.

In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water until completely smooth.

Pour the cornstarch mixture into the skillet and stir continuously for another 1–2 minutes. The juices should thicken into a glossy sauce that coats the apples.

Remove the skillet from the heat.

3. Prepare the Biscuits

Open the refrigerated biscuit dough and separate the biscuits.

Cut each biscuit into approximately 4 pieces. You want bite-sized pieces that can nestle throughout the apple mixture.

Place the biscuit pieces into a large bowl.

Pour the melted butter over them and gently toss until the pieces are lightly coated.

In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle the mixture over the butter-coated biscuit pieces and gently toss again.

Try not to overmix the dough. The goal is simply to coat the pieces with the cinnamon sugar.
