Introduction
Apple Pie Bubble Up is a cozy, crowd-pleasing dessert that takes all the flavors of classic apple pie and turns them into an easy, oven-baked casserole. Soft biscuit pieces “bubble up” through warm cinnamon-spiced apples as it bakes, creating a gooey, tender interior with golden, lightly crisp edges. Finished with a sweet glaze or vanilla icing, this dessert is pure comfort with minimal effort.
What makes Apple Pie Bubble Up so popular is its simplicity. Using refrigerated biscuit dough and canned apple pie filling cuts prep time dramatically, making it perfect for busy weeknights, potlucks, holidays, or last-minute guests. Despite its ease, the final result tastes indulgent and homemade—like apple pie and cinnamon rolls had the coziest dessert baby.
This dessert is forgiving, flexible, and endlessly customizable. You can add extra spice, drizzle caramel, or serve it warm with vanilla ice cream for an over-the-top treat. Whether you’re baking for a fall gathering or craving something sweet without a lot of work, Apple Pie Bubble Up delivers big flavor with little fuss.
If you love warm apple desserts and easy recipes that always impress, this one belongs in your rotation.
Ingredients
2 cans refrigerated biscuit dough (homestyle or buttermilk)
2 cans (21 oz each) apple pie filling
½ cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
Optional Glaze
1 cup powdered sugar
2–3 tablespoons milk
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Preparation
Step 1: Preheat and Prepare the Dish
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick spray.
Step 2: Cut the Biscuit Dough
Open the biscuit cans and cut each biscuit into quarters. Place the biscuit pieces evenly in the prepared baking dish.
Step 3: Add the Apple Filling
Spoon the apple pie filling over the biscuit pieces. Gently spread to distribute apples evenly, but do not stir aggressively.
Step 4: Add Sugar, Spice, and Butter
In a small bowl, mix granulated sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Sprinkle evenly over the apples and biscuits. Drizzle melted butter over the top.
Step 5: Bake Until Bubbly
Bake uncovered for 40–45 minutes, or until biscuits are cooked through and the top is golden and bubbling. Let rest for 10 minutes before glazing.
Variations
Caramel Apple Bubble Up: Drizzle caramel sauce over the top before serving.
Apple Cinnamon Roll Bubble Up: Use cinnamon roll dough and drizzle with icing.
Nutty Apple Bake: Add chopped pecans or walnuts.
Extra Spiced Version: Add cloves or apple pie spice.
Cherry-Apple Bubble Up: Use half apple and half cherry pie filling.
Cooking Notes
Use homestyle biscuits for best texture.
If the top browns too quickly, tent loosely with foil.
Let rest before serving so the sauce thickens slightly.
Check center biscuits to ensure they’re fully baked.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Apple Pie Bubble Up warm with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or a drizzle of caramel sauce. It’s perfect for family dinners, fall gatherings, holidays, or casual dessert nights. Leftovers reheat beautifully.
