  • In a separate small bowl, mix together the remaining, cinnamon, sugar, brown sugar and pecans. Set aside. 
  • Open can of biscuit and cut each biscuit lengthwise in half, so you end up with double the amount of biscuits. If you are using flaky layer biscuits, you can just pull them apart.
  • Spread them out on a clean surface. Brush each biscuit slice with a little melted butter and sprinkle each with the cinnamon 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, and then place them in a long row in the loaf pan.
  • Brush the top with a little more of the melted butter, then sprinkle on any remaining apples and pecans. Bake at 350F degrees for 25-30 minutes.
  • Note: If the top is brown and baked but the inside isn't fully baked yet, cover the loaf pan with foil and bake an additional 10-15 minutes.
  • Whisk together the powdered sugar, milk and vanilla extract until smooth. You may need to add more milk to get it to the thickness that you like.

Notes

    • Adding some dried cranberries would be really tasty.

    • Maybe add in some white chocolate chips or caramel bits.
    • You could also leave out the apples and just have it has a cinnamon roll bread.
    • Peeling the apples is optional. The apples will be softer without the peel and a bit more crunchy and colorful with the peel so it is personal preference.

  1. Can I prep this the night before and bake the next morning? I’m wondering if the apples will release too much moisture and make it soggy…

  2. I want to make this but I noticed that vanilla was added on the video but not listed on the ingredients. How much vanilla do we use? Thanks.
