  • Total Time: 55 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cans (16.3 oz each) refrigerated flaky biscuit dough (like Pillsbury Grands!)
  • 4 medium-sized apples (Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Fuji work best), peeled, cored, and diced into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (optional, for apples)
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. If using, toss the diced apples with lemon juice in a medium bowl to prevent browning.
  3. Open the cans of biscuit dough. On a clean cutting board, cut each biscuit into quarters. Set aside.
  4. In a separate large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
  5. Add the diced apples and the quartered biscuit pieces to the butter-sugar mixture. Gently toss everything until the apples and biscuits are evenly coated.
  6. Pour the entire mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. If using, sprinkle the chopped pecans or walnuts over the top.
  7. Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown, puffed up, and the apples are tender when pierced with a fork. The sauce should be bubbly.
  8. Let the casserole cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Serve warm and enjoy the pull-apart goodness!

Notes

For an extra decadent treat, serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. This casserole is best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or oven. Feel free to experiment with different apple varieties. A mix of tart and sweet apples can add more depth of flavor. Add a drizzle of caramel sauce or a sprinkle of powdered sugar just before serving for an elegant finish.
