Apple pie biscuit bake is an amazing recipe that combines delicious apples with biscuits. As if an apple pie recipe could get any better! Find out how to make this recipe for yourself below.

I think the title of this post says it all: apple pie biscuit bake. As a Southerner, there is nothing better than apple pie spice. This apple pie biscuits recipe combines carbs and the delicious fall flavor that reminds me of a warm apple pie. Dessert biscuits? I’m in heaven every time this delicious dish comes out the oven.

Not only is this a delicious dessert recipe, but it’s even great for a special breakfast on a busy morning. It’s a family favorite all year long! One thing that makes the fall special is the abundance of apples. I have always loved anything apple, and having a sweet tooth…this apple pie with biscuit dough is like Heaven on a plate for me.

You can use either store-bought apple pie filling or fresh bite size pieces of apple to make a homemade apple pie filling. It’s totally up to you and your preference!

Watch how to make this easy apple pie recipe:

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 with biscuit dough:

• You don’t have to make your own glazed topping, any simple glaze works. 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! Pillsbury Grands work well too.
• After you make this, be sure to refrigerate your skillet apple pie biscuits 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!

Any type of cooking apple will work well for this recipe. Granny Smith, Gala, McIntosh, and Golden Delicious apples all hold up well when they are cooked. 

Can I use canned pie filling? 

Yes, this recipe doesn’t take long to make with fresh apples, but if you already have a can of apple pie filling in the pantry feel free to use it for this recipe. It will still turn out amazing. 

Do I need light brown sugar or dark brown sugar? 

You may have noticed that this recipe just calls for brown sugar, and doesn’t specify if it should be light brown sugar or dark brown sugar. That’s because it doesn’t matter, light brown sugar or dark brown sugar will work just fine for this recipe. Just use whichever you prefer or what you have on hand. 

How do you store the leftovers? 

If you have any leftover apple pie biscuit bake you are going to want to store it in the refrigerator in an airtight container. It will still be good to enjoy for 3 to 5 days. 

Can you freeze apple pie biscuit bake? 

Freezing apple pie biscuit bake is not recommended because it can change the texture of the dough.

You can use any type of baking pan that you like, but many people prefer making this dessert in a cast iron skillet. 

Can you use frozen biscuits for this recipe? 

Yes, you can use frozen buttermilk biscuits to make this dessert recipe, but you will need to let them thaw first. This is so that the sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg mixture will stick to the biscuits. 

Can you make this dessert in the air fryer?

Yes, you can make this amazing apple dessert in the air fryer. Just set your air fryer to 325 degrees and bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until the biscuits are cooked through. 

Serving Suggestion

If you are serving this apple pie biscuit bake for dessert you might want to top it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream while it is still warm. You could also drizzle a little warm caramel over the top. 

Recipe Variation

If you would like you can us these same ingredients to make apple pie bombs. Just take your canned biscuits and flatten them with a rolling pin. Sprinkle the biscuits with your sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg mixture, and then spoon some of your apple filling on the biscuits.

Seal the biscuits closed with a fork and place them on a baking sheet seam side down. Bake in your oven or air fryer until the biscuits are cooked though. You could serve these with a scoop of vanilla ice cream as well!
