The image shows four golden-brown scones placed closely together on a round white plate, with a slightly rough and crumbly texture on the surface. The tops are uneven and baked to a crispy, light golden color while the sides are lighter and fluffy. The background features a white marbled surface that contrasts gently with the warm tones of the scones. The lighting highlights the lightly browned crust and the soft texture inside.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough
1 cup apple pie filling, finely chopped
1 tablespoon melted butter (for brushing)
For the Glaze:
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1–2 tablespoons milk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375 °F (190 °C) and grease or line a baking sheet to prepare for baking.
Step 2: In a bowl, mix the finely chopped apple pie filling with brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Step 3: Flatten each biscuit dough piece into a circle approximately 4 inches in diameter.
Step 4: Place a spoonful of the apple mixture in the center of each flattened biscuit, then fold the edges up around the filling and pinch them closed to seal.
Step 5: Arrange the sealed biscuits seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet and brush the tops with melted butter.
Step 6: Bake in the preheated oven for 15–18 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown.
Step 7: While the biscuits bake, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl to create a smooth glaze.
Step 8: Once baked, allow the biscuits to cool slightly. Drizzle the glaze over the warm biscuits and serve immediately.

Tips & Variations

For a crunchier texture, sprinkle chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts inside the filling before baking.
Use fresh apples sautéed with cinnamon and sugar instead of canned pie filling for a homemade touch.
Try adding a pinch of nutmeg or ground ginger to the apple mixture for extra warmth and spice.
To make it dairy-free, substitute melted butter with coconut oil and use a plant-based milk in the glaze.

Storage

Store leftover apple pie biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, refrigerate them for up to 4 days. To reheat, warm in a preheated oven at 350 °F (175 °C) for about 5–7 minutes. Avoid microwaving to keep the biscuits flaky.

FAQs

Can I use homemade biscuit dough for this recipe?

Yes, homemade biscuit dough works great if you prefer to make your own. Just shape and fill the dough as directed for a fresh-baked taste.

How do I prevent the biscuits from leaking apple filling?

Make sure to pinch the biscuit edges tightly closed to seal in the filling. Avoid overfilling each biscuit and place them seam-side down on the baking sheet to help keep the filling inside while baking.
