I'm always on the lookout for a quick and easy treat, but I also want it to be made from the ingredients that I have on hand. I adapted a recipe for Apple Pie Biscuits that used storebought ingredients and made my own homemade version. They are delicious!
For this recipe, I used my go to basic biscuit recipe from the Joy of Cooking cookbook. Number One Husband bought me this cookbook about 35 years ago. He makes the Baklava recipe from this cookbook about once a year around Thanksgiving which is just around the corner.
I usually cut this biscuit recipe in half, and this works out perfectly for our small family. If using storebought ingredients, just skip making homemade biscuit dough and apple pie filling and use storebought. For simplicity's sake, the ingredients listed below are for the storebought version.
Ingredients:
Canned biscuits
Apple pie filling
1/2 stick butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
Pinch of salt
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Coat a cast iron skillet or a baking dish with butter. Melt 1/2 stick of butter in a small pan. Mix brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and a pinch of salt together in a bowl. Dip biscuits in melted butter and coat with brown sugar mixture. Place biscuits in buttered skillet or pan. Once all biscuits are coated, pour apple pie mixture evenly on top of the coated biscuits. Top with the rest of the butter and brown sugar mixture. Bake in a preheated oven for 40 minutes. Serve warm for best results.
