Cooktop Cove: This recipe is my spouse's favorite. We eat one portion and they're already wanting seconds.
By Georgia Lynn
Ah, there's nothing quite like the scent of warm apples and cinnamon wafting through the farmhouse. This Apple Pie Biscuit Bake combines the best of two worlds: the comfort of a warm apple pie and the fluffy goodness of homemade biscuits. This recipe hails from our Midwestern roots, where autumn apples are plentiful and every family has their secret pie recipe. It's perfect for folks craving that homey touch with a modern twist – easy enough for a Sunday supper dessert but special enough for holiday gatherings.
This Apple Pie Biscuit Bake pairs beautifully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of freshly whipped cream. A warm cup of coffee or spiced apple cider complements the dessert wonderfully, making it a cozy choice for a chilly evening. If you’re serving this as the grand finale for a family dinner, consider starting the meal with a hearty pot roast and a side of buttery mashed potatoes – a true Midwestern delight.
Apple Pie Biscuit Bake
Servings: 8
Ingredients
6 cups of peeled and sliced apples (preferably Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
1/2 cup of granulated sugar
1/4 cup of brown sugar
1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg
1 tablespoon of lemon juice
1/4 cup of all-purpose flour
1 can of refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits)
2 tablespoons of melted butter
1/4 cup of caramel sauce (optional)
Directions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish lightly with butter or cooking spray.
In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, granulated sugar, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, lemon juice, and all-purpose flour. Toss until the apples are well-coated with the mixture.
Spread the apple mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish.
Open the can of refrigerated biscuit dough and separate the biscuits. Cut each biscuit into quarters, and arrange the pieces evenly over the top of the apple mixture.
Drizzle the melted butter over the biscuit pieces.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, until the biscuits are golden brown and the apples are tender.
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. If desired, drizzle with caramel sauce just before serving for an extra touch of sweetness.
Variations & Tips
If you'd like to switch things up, try using pears or a mix of apples and pears for a delightful twist. Adding a handful of raisins or cranberries to the apple mixture can provide a lovely burst of flavor. For those who love nuts, sprinkle some chopped pecans or walnuts over the top before baking. And if you’re a fan of spices, a pinch of ground cloves or allspice can add a warming depth to the dish.
