  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 6-8 servings

Ingredients

For the Biscuit Bake

  • ½ cup butter, melted (can use 6 tbsp if preferred)
  • 1 cup brown sugar, lightly packed
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla bean paste
  • 1 tbsp cinnamon, more if desired
  • 2 small apples, small diced
  • 1 can refrigerated biscuits (8-count), each cut into about 4-6 pieces

For the Cinnamon Cream Cheese Drizzle

  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened (estimated based on typical drizzle amount)
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 2-3 tbsp milk (to desired thickness)
  • Pinch of cinnamon (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Mix Base: Preheat oven to 350°F. In a 9×9 inch baking pan, combine melted butter, brown sugar, maple syrup, vanilla bean paste, and cinnamon. Stir the mixture well to blend the flavors.
  2. Add Apples: Add the small diced apples to the pan and stir again to evenly coat the apple pieces with the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Optionally, add a pinch of sea salt to enhance the flavors.
  3. Incorporate Biscuit Dough: Add the biscuit pieces into the pan and gently fold them into the apple mixture, ensuring the biscuit pieces are well coated, especially on top for better caramelization and flavor absorption.
  4. Bake: Place the pan in the oven and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the biscuit tops turn golden brown. Check doneness by ensuring the center of the biscuits reaches 177°F. Test multiple spots with a thermometer for accuracy.
  5. Prepare Drizzle: While the bake cools for 5-10 minutes, soften cream cheese with a fork in a bowl until smooth. Whisk in brown sugar, then gradually whisk in milk until you achieve a pourable drizzle consistency. Adjust thickness as desired.
  6. Serve: Drizzle the cinnamon cream cheese mixture evenly over the warm biscuit bake. Sprinkle an extra pinch of cinnamon on top for garnish and serve warm.

Notes

  • Using fresh apples adds a nice texture and natural sweetness; tart varieties like Granny Smith work well for balance.
  • Check biscuit doneness with a thermometer since the topping can make it tricky to tell visually.
  • The drizzle can be adjusted for thickness by adding more or less milk depending on preference.
  • This dish is best served warm to experience the gooey biscuits and luscious drizzle at their peak.
  • Optionally, add a pinch of sea salt to the butter sugar mixture to enhance flavor contrast.
