4. Assemble the Bubble Up Bake
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Spread the warm apple filling evenly across the bottom of the dish.
Arrange the cinnamon-sugar biscuit pieces over the apples. You don’t need to create a perfectly even pattern. Leaving small spaces between some pieces allows the dough to puff up beautifully as it bakes.
If there is any remaining cinnamon sugar in the bowl, sprinkle it over the top.
5. Bake Until Golden and Bubbly
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 30–40 minutes.
Keep an eye on the center during the final few minutes. The biscuits should be visibly puffed and golden brown, while the apple filling should be bubbling around the edges.
If the biscuits begin browning too quickly before the center is fully cooked, loosely cover the dish with aluminum foil and continue baking.
A good way to check the biscuits is to gently lift one of the center pieces. It should no longer look raw or doughy inside.
6. Make the Cinnamon Sugar Glaze
While the bake is in the oven, prepare the glaze.
Add the powdered sugar and cinnamon to a small bowl.
Pour in 1 tablespoon of milk and the vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
If the glaze is too thick to drizzle, add a few drops of milk at a time until it reaches a smooth, pourable consistency.
For a stronger cinnamon flavor, you can add a small extra pinch of cinnamon.
7. Finish the Bake
Remove the apple pie biscuit bake from the oven and let it cool for about 5–10 minutes.
While it is still warm, drizzle the cinnamon sugar glaze generously over the biscuit pieces.
The warmth of the bake will soften the glaze slightly, allowing it to settle into the little spaces between the biscuits and apples.
For an extra finishing touch, you can sprinkle a tiny amount of cinnamon over the glaze.
8. Serve Warm
Spoon generous portions into bowls and serve while warm.
For an especially comforting dessert, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. The cold, creamy ice cream slowly melts over the warm cinnamon apples and buttery biscuits.
Whipped cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce also works beautifully.
Helpful Tips for the Best Results
Cut the biscuits evenly. Similar-sized pieces cook at roughly the same rate, helping prevent some pieces from becoming overdone while others remain underbaked.
Don’t skip the cornstarch slurry. It helps turn the apple juices into a thicker sauce instead of leaving the dessert watery.
Don’t overcrowd the biscuit pieces. They need room to expand as they bake. A little space between pieces gives the finished dessert its characteristic “bubble up” appearance.
Check the center before removing it from the oven. The outside can become golden before the middle biscuits are completely baked, so make sure the center is cooked through.
Let it rest briefly. Five to ten minutes gives the apple filling time to settle while keeping the biscuits warm.
Easy Variations
Caramel Apple Version
Drizzle caramel sauce over the finished bake instead of—or in addition to—the cinnamon glaze for a richer caramel-apple flavor.
Pecan Cinnamon Version
Add a handful of chopped pecans to the apple filling before assembling the bake. Their crunchy texture contrasts beautifully with the soft apples and biscuits.
Apple-Peach Version
Replace part of the apples with diced peaches for a slightly lighter, fruitier variation.
Extra Cinnamon Sugar Topping
For a more pronounced cinnamon-sugar crust, sprinkle a little additional cinnamon sugar over the biscuit pieces just before baking.
How to Store Leftovers
Allow the bake to cool before covering and refrigerating it. Store leftovers in an airtight container or cover the baking dish tightly.
Reheat individual portions in the microwave until warmed through, or place the dish in a low-temperature oven for a few minutes.
The biscuits are at their softest and most enjoyable when served warm, so reheating is recommended rather than eating the leftovers straight from the refrigerator.
