Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

2 cups diced apples (preferably Granny Smith or Fuji)
1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional)

Instructions

Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish thoroughly to prevent sticking and set it aside for later use.
Mix the Apples and Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced apples, biscuit dough pieces torn into small chunks, granulated sugar, and ground cinnamon. Stir the mixture well to coat all the dough pieces and apple chunks evenly with sugar and cinnamon.
Layer the Casserole: Pour the apple and dough mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Drizzle the melted unsalted butter over the top, then sprinkle with brown sugar and chopped pecans if using.
Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until the biscuit dough is cooked through and the top turns golden brown. Once baked, allow the casserole to cool slightly for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

For a more complex flavor, use a combination of apple varieties such as Granny Smith and Fuji.
Ensure biscuit dough pieces are evenly spread throughout the mixture for consistent baking.
For a gooey texture, drizzle caramel sauce over the casserole just before serving.
Sprinkle turbinado sugar on top before baking for a crisp, crunchy topping.
Freshly grated nutmeg can enhance the warm spice profile of the casserole.
Let the casserole rest after baking for optimal texture and flavor melding.
