→ For Homemade Apple Pie Filling (Optional)

12 - 4 cups apples, peeled, cored and cut into pieces [use your favorite variety]
13 - 1/3 cup granulated sugar
14 - 2 Tbsp lemon juice
15 - 1/4 tsp salt
16 - 1 tsp vanilla extract
17 - Cornstarch dissolved in cold water, if needed for thickening

# Instructions:

01 - Preheat the oven to 375°F. Using a pastry brush, coat bottom and sides of a 10-inch cast iron skillet with some of the melted butter.
02 - In a small bowl, stir or whisk together the brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well blended.
03 - Dip each biscuit into the melted butter, then sprinkle all sides with the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Arrange the coated biscuits side by side in the buttered skillet.
04 - Use a sharp knife to chop the apples in the pie filling into smaller pieces. Stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Arrange the pie filling evenly over the biscuits. If using nuts, sprinkle them on top of the filling.
05 - Pour any remaining melted butter over the pie filling and sprinkle the remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture on top of the biscuits.
06 - Place the skillet into the preheated oven. Bake for 30-35 minutes, until the biscuits are golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
07 - While the biscuits are baking, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla extract until smooth.
08 - When the biscuits are done, remove from the oven and drizzle the glaze on top. Serve warm.
09 - If making your own filling: In a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat, cook the peeled and diced apples with granulated sugar, lemon juice, and salt. Cook over medium-low heat for about 20 minutes, until the apples are tender. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. If needed, thicken the juices with cornstarch dissolved in cold water. This can be made one day in advance and refrigerated until ready to use.

# Notes:

01 - When apples are in season, consider making the homemade apple filling for even better flavor.
02 - You can use any variety of apples you enjoy in apple pie, such as Granny Smith, Gala, or Honeycrisp.
03 - The glaze recipe can easily be doubled if you prefer a more generous amount.
04 - For the best texture, ensure the frozen biscuits are fully thawed before using.
