Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 (21-ounce) can apple pie filling
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 (16.3-ounce) can refrigerated biscuits
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) to ensure it's ready for baking the casserole.
- Melt Butter: In a small saucepan, melt the 3 tablespoons of butter over low heat, preparing the base for the sweet mixture.
- Mix Ingredients: Stir in the 1/2 cup of brown sugar, 21-ounce can of apple pie filling, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract into the melted butter. Combine until everything is well mixed and heated through gently.
- Prepare Casserole Base: Spoon half of this apple pie filling mixture onto the bottom of a shallow two-quart casserole dish, spreading it evenly to form a flavorful layer.
- Add Biscuits: Tear each refrigerated biscuit into four pieces and layer them evenly over the pie filling mixture in the casserole dish. This creates a soft biscuit base within the casserole.
- Top with Remaining Mixture: Pour the remaining apple pie filling mixture evenly over the biscuit pieces to fully coat and flavor them.
- Add Pecans: Sprinkle the 1/2 cup of chopped pecans over the top, adding a crunchy texture and nutty flavor to the casserole.
- Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 40 minutes, or until the top is golden and the biscuits are cooked through.
Notes
- You can substitute chopped walnuts for pecans if preferred.
- For extra richness, add a drizzle of caramel sauce before serving.
- Ensure biscuits are fully cooked by checking the center before removing from the oven.
- Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving to help it set.
- This casserole reheats well and can be stored covered in the fridge for up to 3 days.
