I think the title of this post says it all: apple pie biscuit bake. As a Southerner, there is nothing better than apple pie. Well, maybe other than biscuits. Combine them both and I’m in heaven!
Not only is this a delicious dessert recipe, but it’s even great for a special breakfast. You can use either canned pie filling or fresh apples, it’s totally your preference!
One thing that I love during the fall is the abundance of apples. I have always loved anything apple, and having a sweet tooth…this dessert is like Heaven on a plate for me. It’s easy enough to make that you can pull it together for a quick weeknight dessert but it’s also polished enough that your guests will think you spent hours putting it together (we’ll keep the fact that it’s so easy to make between us).
A few quick pointers when making my apple pie biscuit bake:
- You don’t have to make your own glazed topping, you could grab a jar of your favorite cream cheese icing instead from the store (although the glazed topping is easy to make!)
- I personally prefer Pillsbury Butter Tastin’ Biscuits for this…their flavor adds something to this recipe that other canned biscuits don’t!
- After you make this, be sure to refrigerate it if you aren’t serving immediately.
Now, for the recipe. I’d love to hear what you think about this apple pie biscuit bake in the comments below!
