Cinnamon Apple Biscuit Bake
This gooey, cozy apple biscuit bake is a super simple dish that combines refrigerated biscuit pieces with a cinnamon apple mixture, bakes up golden brown and then is smothered in a brown sugar icing. A comforting dessert or rich brunch dish, or a just because you want to enjoy apple season--you choose!
Servings: 8
Ingredients
- ½ cup butter, melted (can use 6 tbsp if preferred)
- 1 cup brown sugar lightly packed
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp cinnamon more if desired
- 2 small apples small diced
- 1 can refrigerated biscuits (8-count) each cut into about 4-6 pieces
Brown Sugar Icing
- 4 oz. cream cheese, softened
- 3-4 Tbsp brown sugar
- 2-3 tbsp milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Add the melted butter, brown sugar, maple syrup, vanilla and cinnamon to the bottom of a 9x9 inch baking pan and stir to combine. Add the apples and stir to evenly coat. I like to add a pinch of sea salt sometimes, too
- Add the pieces of biscuit dough, and gently fold to allow the biscuits to be coated with the apple and cinnamon mixture, especially on the top as much as possible.
- Bake for about 30-40 minutes or until the top of the biscuits are golden brown. It can be hard to tell if the biscuits are cooked, so make sure the center of the biscuits reach 177°F. I like to test several spots.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5-10 minutes. While it cools, use a fork to press the cream cheese enough that it can be easily mixed. Add the brown sugar and whisk. Add in the milk and whisk to desired thickness and then drizzle over top of the apple biscuit mixture.
- Serve it warm with an extra sprinkle of cinnamon over top.
Notes
Storage: This apple cinnamon biscuit bake is best eaten fresh but can still be stored for about 3-4 days in the refrigerator in an airtight container. You can reheat it in the microwave for about 90 seconds, or bake for about 10-15 minutes at 350°F. To freeze, allow it to cool completely and then store in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before reheating.
Not sure if the centers of the biscuits are cooked? Check the internal temperature. The center of the biscuits need to reach 177°F to be safe to eat. Check several larger pieces, especially where they may be connected to another biscuit.
You are welcome to add the biscuits first and then pour the apple mixture over top for another way to vary this recipe
