Ingredients
Scale
Biscuit Cups
- 1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough (8-count)
Apple Filling
- 1 ½ cups apple pie filling (chopped into small pieces)
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
Topping
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
Glaze
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1–2 tablespoons milk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare muffin tin: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a muffin tin to prevent sticking.
- Shape biscuit cups: Flatten each biscuit slightly with your hands and press the dough into the bottom and up the sides of each muffin cup to form a cup shape.
- Mix filling: In a small bowl, combine the chopped apple pie filling with cinnamon and nutmeg to evenly distribute the spices for a warm, aromatic flavor.
- Fill biscuit cups: Spoon about one tablespoon of the spiced apple filling into each biscuit cup, ensuring each has a generous amount of filling.
- Add butter and sugar topping: Mix melted butter and brown sugar together, then drizzle this mixture over the filling in each biscuit cup to add richness and a caramelized finish.
- Bake biscuits: Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 15 to 18 minutes or until the biscuits turn golden brown and are cooked through.
- Prepare glaze: While the biscuits cool slightly, whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a bowl until smooth to create a sweet glaze.
- Glaze and serve: Drizzle the glaze over the warm biscuits and serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Perfect for breakfast or dessert with a comforting autumn flavor.
- You can substitute homemade apple pie filling or use fresh sautéed apples for a fresher taste.
- For added texture and flavor, sprinkle chopped pecans or walnuts over the filling before baking.
