Apple pie biscuits are a delightful twist on the classic apple pie, perfect for those cozy family gatherings or a sweet treat on a weekend morning. This recipe combines the comforting flavors of apple pie with the simplicity of biscuits, making it an easy and quick dessert or breakfast option. The flaky, gooey, and golden texture is sure to win over both kids and adults alike. It's a great way to use up those extra apples from a fall harvest or to bring a taste of autumn into your home any time of the year.

These apple pie biscuits are best served warm, straight from the oven. Pair them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for dessert or enjoy them with a dollop of whipped cream for a lighter option. A hot cup of coffee or a glass of cold milk complements their sweetness perfectly, making them a versatile treat for any time of day.

Servings: 8

1 can of refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits)
2 medium apples, peeled and diced
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 cup chopped pecans (optional)
1/4 cup caramel sauce (optional)

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Cook until the apples are tender and the mixture is gooey, about 5-7 minutes.

Remove the saucepan from heat and let the apple mixture cool slightly.

Separate the biscuit dough and flatten each biscuit slightly with your hands.

Place a spoonful of the apple mixture onto the center of each biscuit. If using, sprinkle some chopped pecans over the apple mixture.

Fold the edges of the biscuit dough over the apple mixture, pinching to seal and form a pouch.

Place the filled biscuits seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown.

Drizzle with caramel sauce before serving, if desired.

For a nut-free version, simply omit the pecans. You can also experiment with different types of apples to vary the flavor; Granny Smith apples add a nice tartness, while Honeycrisp apples are sweeter. For a more indulgent treat, add a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar on top of the biscuits before baking. If you have picky eaters, consider serving the apple mixture on the side as a dip, allowing them to control how much they add to their biscuit.
