Step-by-step instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Cut each biscuit into quarters and set aside.
- In a large bowl, toss the apple slices with 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and the nutmeg until the apples are thoroughly coated.
- In another large bowl, combine the biscuit quarters with the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon.
- Layer half of the biscuit mixture in the bottom of the prepared baking dish, then spread the apple mixture evenly over the top.
- Add the remaining biscuit mixture as the final layer and drizzle melted butter over the entire dish.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown and the apples are tender.
- Meanwhile, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl to make the glaze.
- Once baked, drizzle the glaze over the warm bubble-up dessert and serve.
Best ways to enjoy it
Serve your Apple Pie Bubble Up warm, drizzled with the glaze, and, for an extra treat, top it off with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. This pairing adds a delightful contrast of temperatures and textures. It’s also lovely with a side of fresh whipped cream or even caramel sauce for an indulgent twist.
Keeping leftovers fresh
To store any leftovers of your delectable dessert, let it cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container. It can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, you can freeze individual portions wrapped tightly in plastic wrap. Simply thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
Tricks for success
For an even more pronounced apple flavor, consider adding a splash of apple cider to the apple mixture before baking. Also, ensure you slice the apples thinly so they become tender during the baking process. If you want a more spiced flavor, increase the amount of cinnamon or add a pinch of ginger or allspice.
Creative twists
Feel free to get creative! Try swapping the apples for pears or berries for a different fruity flavor profile. If you’re looking for a more indulgent version, sprinkle some chopped pecans or walnuts between the layers for added crunch. For those who prefer a healthier version, you can reduce the sugar and explore using whole-grain biscuit dough.
