Spread them out on a clean surface. Brush each biscuit piece with a little melted butter and sprinkle each with the cinnamon sugar pecan mixture (that you stirred together in the small bowl.

Next, sprinkle on the diced apple mixture to each biscuit piece. You may not use all the diced apples or some might slip out while stacking. Those can be used on top before baking.

Stack the biscuits up in three different rows.

Place them in a long row in a loaf pan.

Brush the top with a little more melted butter, then sprinkle on any remaining apples and pecans.
