What You’ll Need
Here are the ingredients you’ll need for this easy apple pie recipe. See the recipe card located at the bottom of the post for full details and instructions.
- butter– I generally use salted butter in my recipes, unsalted works just fine too.
- sliced apples– Green Granny Smith Apples are what I prefer for the recipe.
- ground cinnamon– Cinnamon pairs so nicely with the apples, the perfect spice.
- light brown sugar– Make sure your brown sugar is fresh and soft. It should be packed in the cup.
- Pillsbury biscuit dough– Find refrigerated biscuit dough in the dairy section of the grocery store.
- egg yolks– Use a bowl to pour whites of the egg and just keep the yolks.
- salted caramel sauce– Trader Joe’s has a good salted caramel sauce. Any of your favorite will be fine.
- powdered sugar– Also called confectioners sugar, this sugar helps make the icing.
- heavy cream– Use heavy cream to make the icing with the powdered sugar.
Best Apples For Apple Pie
- Granny Smith– Granny Smith apples are one of the most versatile apples you can buy. Their sweet-tart flavor and crisp texture make them an apple that is as wonderful for cooking and baking as it is to eat out of hand.
- Honeycrisp– Honeycrisp apples have a sweet, subtly tangy flavor well suited for fresh and cooked preparations. Raw Honeycrisp apples are popularly consumed straight, out of hand, mainly served chilled, and are valued for their snappy, juicy flesh.
- Golden Delicious– Golden Delicious Apples are popular, medium-sized apples with a crisp firm texture and juicy sweet flavor. These tasty apples have a creamy-white interior and a thin yellow peel with light speckles.
How To Make Easy Apple Pie Skillet
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Melt. Melt butter in 12 inch cast iron skillet over medium heat.
Add Apples, Cinnamon and Sugar. Once melted add apples, cinnamon and brown sugar. Stir to combine and let cook for 5 minutes.
Cut Biscuits. Cut each biscuit round into 8 pieces (I keep cutting in half until I get 8 triangles). Place biscuit pieces into pan and gently stir into apple mixture. place half and half, egg yolk, brown sugar and cinnamon into a medium measuring cup, whisking to combine. Drizzle over biscuit mixture. Use a spoon to press biscuits into cream mixture evenly.
Bake for 30 minutes, until set. Remove and drizzle with salted caramel sauce.
Prepare Icing. Place powdered sugar into a small mixing bowl and whisk with cream until creamy and drizzling consistency. Drizzle over top of caramel layer. Serve warm.
…..and my favorite part of the recipe. Drizzle time!
How To Serve
Serve this easy apple pie recipe warm in individual bowls. It’s great with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top too. Serve this gorgeous skillet recipe for Sunday dinner and really anytime you feel like Fall Baking.

Refrigerator. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Reheating Instructions. Reheat on a heat proof bowl or plate, covered in the microwave for 60 seconds or when hot. Note, this recipe is best enjoyed the day of baking.

I absolutely love this recipe! So much so I added it to my ultimate apple recipe roundup…I hope you will come by and take a look! Have a great week xo http://dreamingofleaving.com/2015/09/21/worlds-best-apple-recipe-roundup/
we just moved today and I would love to make these. However, the movers aren’t going to be here until Tuesday can I use a non stick skillet which I just purchased today in place of the cast iron skillet which is packed in boxes some where?
These look great! They look like they’d be pretty easy to make too.
My family thanks you:)
Made this skillet of goodness this morning! My boys came in from hunting, and we devoured it!!! My son asked if I made a second one cause this one disappeared. DELICIOUS!!
Do you have to use a cast iron skillet to cook in?
Have you ever tried it w/ peaches & plain caramel sauce>
No way is little Pax 2 years old! When did he get so big?! So cute
Do you think a cinnamon streusel could be substituted for the caramel or should we just use more icing? Some of my bunch do not like caramel but this looks delicious!
I made these – they were off the charts good! Everybody loved it!
Jenny this looks incredible; sticky gooey, soft, melt in my mouth goodness! Pinning 🙂 Thanks so much for sharing!
This looks amazing! The salted caramel sauce makes my mouth water!
what kind of apples did you use in the salted caramel apple pie biscuits?
Susan Cykoski
I used Gala apples.
These look amazing!! 🙂 🙂 I need this in my life!
Wow, that looks great! Looks like I need to bust out my cast iron skillet! Thanks for sharing!
Looks fantastic! And, that little assistant… I might have to gobble him up, first! 😉
OH man. Gimme!
Oh, my!!! Now that’s how I want to eat my apple a day! All that drizzle action…yum! And your little helper is so stinking cute 🙂
Can I make these if I don’t have a cast iron skillet
What can I use if I do not have iron skillet?
Yes. I made the apple mixture in a nonstick fry pan, then baked it in a warmed, glass 9×9, baking dish. Turned out great! May not have the crisp-ness of cast iron, but still delicious!
Think I need to run to the store….
these look AMAZING! wow!!
This recipe is pretty much perfection…I love biscuits and there’s salted caramel and that glaze?! Oh my gosh.
Your assistant is adorable! And these bites – LOVE!
Yumm — this looks delicious, and I bet it smells amazing as it cooks!! Looks like you have an amazing mini-chef .. he’s such a cutie!!
Omg, Pax is ADORABLE!! I would be sneaking pokes too 🙂
I love your pictures of Pax! He is precious. And this pie, so making!!
I love your little assistant!!!
HOW is Pax so big already?!
These look incredible. Love the apple/caramel combo!
Sooo making this for a holiday brunch!! It looks absolutely delectable! (would it be bad if I made it for just myself and my husband??)
Yummy, yummy, yummy! Need I say more?!
Hello delicious! I think that caramel all over the top totally wins me over…yum!
What a breakfast treat!
Dying over the drizzle — and your cutie pie assistant! Lucy definitely loves taste testing as well…until she discovers the recipe has nuts in it. Then she’s not so happy. These look perfect!
Hey, you don’t have to tell me twice to get mah drizzle on! I am all about a good drizzle! especially when it’s on these apple pie biscuit bites. I WANT THAT. Pinned!
What a great use for biscuits! I am all over these!
Oh, these look so delicious! I’m in the UK, ay idea what I could use instead of canned biscuits?
Maybe you can use dinner rolls
