I got the inspiration for this from a book called Quick Meal Solutions which I checked out from our local library. It is full of ways to make meals, snacks and desserts easier for busy lifestyles. I changed up the recipe while keeping the basic premise.
You’ll need:
a can of biscuits (I used a 16 oz. can)
a can of apple pie filling
Streusel topping:
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup flour
2 T butter
1/8 tsp salt
1 tsp. cinnamon
Use whatever biscuits you like, but if they’re thick you should cut them in half so they won’t be so large that they push the filling out when they bake. I did cut mine in half “sideways.”
Then pat them down in your muffin tin and up the sides as much as you can so it will hold the filling.
(I did give my pan a quick spray of vegetable oil, just to ensure easy removal).
Then put a large spoonful of apple pie filling in each one. I had two biscuits left after making 12 mini pies, so I made a giant one for hubby.
Make up the streusel topping, and sprinkle on each little pie.
Bake for 12 minutes at 350 degrees, and they’re done.
Serve as is or with a scoop of vanilla icecream!
Hint: Serve soon after making so the topping doesn’t get soft.
Hope you enjoy!

It’s amazing how easy these are! Great recipe for a quick dessert
how much do i love that you utilize your local library!!
PS. I don’t tend to buy processed food (ie canned apples & pre-made dough) – not that there’s anything wrong with that! But you’ve inspired me to make a from scratch version
Thanks for posting this can’t wait to try. btw I’m here visiting from “Handy Man crafty Woman”

Hi Margo,

YUMMY!!! I am going to show these to my daughter and resident baker.
What an easy great treat! Great idea to use the biscuits. YUM! I’d love for you to stop by my linky party tomorrow, Crazy Sweet Tuesday, sometime.
I’ve got a very similar recipe that’s upside down – you start with a little brown sugar, butter, and sliced apple and then put the biscuit on top. When it’s done baking you invert and it’s like a mini apple tatin. SO simple…
These look so delicious!!! I might have to add them to my Thanksgiving menu last minute! I would love it if you shared them over at Totally Inspired Tuesdays at The Inspired Collection.
