Ingredients

Scale

Fruit and Dough

  • 2 cups diced apples (preferably Granny Smith or Fuji)
  • 1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough

Sweeteners and Spices

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Fats and Nuts

  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish thoroughly and set it aside to prepare for the casserole assembly.
  2. Mix the Apples and Dough: In a large bowl, combine the diced apples, pieces of biscuit dough, granulated sugar, and ground cinnamon. Stir everything together until the dough pieces and apples are evenly coated with sugar and cinnamon.
  3. Layer the Casserole: Transfer the apple and dough mixture into the prepared baking dish. Drizzle the melted unsalted butter evenly over the top, then sprinkle with brown sugar and chopped pecans to add richness and crunch.
  4. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the biscuit dough is cooked through and golden brown. Remove from oven and let the casserole cool slightly before serving to enhance the texture and flavors.

Notes

  • For a more robust flavor, use a mix of different apple varieties like Granny Smith and Fuji.
  • Ensure biscuit dough pieces are evenly distributed to promote consistent baking.
  • For a gooey texture, add a drizzle of caramel sauce before serving.
  • Sprinkle turbinado sugar on top before baking for a crisp topping.
  • Freshly grated nutmeg can be added to enhance the spice profile.
  • Let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes after baking for the best texture.
