Apple Pie Biscuits
Apple pie biscuits have quickly become my go-to weekend breakfast, especially when family or friends drop by. These buttery, cinnamon-sugar delights are always a favorite, and I get asked for the recipe more times than I can count. Filled with cozy apple pie flavor, they’re so easy to make that I even serve them as an afternoon treat.
This recipe is widely loved—and for good reason. The flaky biscuits, warm apple filling, and sweet glaze come together perfectly, especially for kids. Plus, you can make it two ways: quick with store-bought ingredients or fully homemade when you want to take your time and enjoy the process.

🔪 Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Generously brush melted butter on the bottom and sides of a cast iron skillet.
- In a bowl, mix together the brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- Dip each biscuit into the melted butter, then roll in the sugar-spice mixture to coat.
- Spoon the apple pie filling evenly over the tops of the biscuits.
- Drizzle a little extra butter on top, then bake for 32–35 minutes, or until golden and puffed.
- While baking, whisk together the powdered sugar and cream to make the glaze.
- When the biscuits come out hot from the oven, drizzle the glaze on top. If you like it sweeter, feel free to double or triple the glaze!
💡 Tips & Notes
- For a seasonal twist, swap canned filling for homemade apple filling using fresh apples.
- Keep an eye on baking time as it may vary depending on the thickness of your biscuits.
- For an indulgent treat, serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
