Cuisine: American
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cans refrigerated biscuits
- 1 can apple pie filling
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish thoroughly with cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking.
- Open the refrigerated biscuit cans and separate each biscuit. Cut each biscuit into quarters to create bite-sized pieces.
- Pour the apple pie filling into a mixing bowl. Use a knife or spatula to chop the apple pieces into smaller, more uniform chunks if desired.
- In a separate small bowl, mix the melted butter, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
- Layer half of the biscuit pieces evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
- Spread the apple pie filling over the first layer of biscuit pieces, ensuring even distribution.
- Sprinkle the chopped pecans (if using) over the apple pie filling layer.
- Top the filling with the remaining biscuit pieces, creating a second layer.
- Pour the butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon mixture evenly over the entire casserole, ensuring all biscuit pieces are coated.
- Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes before serving. The casserole can be served warm, optionally topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Tips
- For extra flavor, consider using homemade apple pie filling or adding a splash of vanilla extract to the brown sugar mixture.
- Make sure to cut biscuits into uniform quarters to ensure even cooking and consistent texture.
- If you want a crunchier top, sprinkle some additional chopped pecans just before serving.
- Don't skip letting the casserole rest for 10 minutes after baking - this helps the filling set and makes serving easier.
- For a more indulgent experience, serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
- You can prepare this casserole ahead of time and refrigerate before baking - just add an extra 5-10 minutes to the baking time.
- Experiment with different types of nuts or even add a handful of raisins for variety.
