Delicious and easy to make Apple Pie Biscuit Bites, perfect for a quick dessert or snack!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tube refrigerated biscuit dough (8-biscuit, Grands Southern Homestyle)
- 1 ½ cups canned apple pie filling
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- a dash ground nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons butter (melted)
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup water
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- a dash ground cloves or ground nutmeg
- a pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a small bowl, chop the apple pie filling into smaller pieces if needed. Stir in cinnamon, vanilla extract (if using), and nutmeg.
- Separate biscuit dough into 16 rounds. Flatten each piece using your hands or a rolling pin.
- Optional: Place each dough round in a muffin pan to help form a basket shape.
- Spoon about 1 tablespoon of filling into the center of each dough round.
- Fold the edges of the dough up and over the filling, pinching to seal. Shape into a ball. Repeat with remaining dough and filling.
- Brush each dough ball with melted butter. Mix cinnamon and sugar in a bowl and roll each ball to coat fully. Arrange balls seam-side down on the baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- In a medium saucepan, combine sugar and water over medium heat. Stir until sugar dissolves, about 3-5 minutes.
- Stop stirring and let the mixture boil until it turns deep amber, swirling occasionally, 8-10 minutes.
- Remove from heat and slowly stir in heavy cream (it will bubble vigorously).
- Return to low heat. Add butter, vanilla, cinnamon, cloves or nutmeg, and salt. Stir until butter is melted and the sauce is smooth.
- Simmer for 2-3 minutes more until slightly thickened. Cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- Ensure the biscuit dough is fully sealed to avoid leaking filling.
- Allow the caramel sauce to cool slightly before drizzling over the biscuit bites.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
