Scale
For the Bread:
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 (8-count) can flaky-style biscuits
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) salted butter, melted
- 1 red apple, cored and grated or chopped
- 1 green apple, cored and grated or chopped
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (plus extra for sprinkling)
For the Icing:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons whole milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat & Prep: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a loaf pan with parchment paper and coat with cooking spray.
- Mix the Sugar Coating: In a bowl, combine granulated sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- Prepare the Biscuits: Separate each biscuit into two thinner rounds, making 16 rounds total.
- Coat the Biscuits: Dip each biscuit round into melted butter, letting excess drip off. Then coat in the sugar mixture. Place them on a baking sheet.
- Prepare the Apple Mixture: In a large bowl, mix any remaining butter and sugar mixture with grated apples, brown sugar, and lemon juice.
- Assemble the Stacks: Spoon the apple mixture evenly onto each biscuit round. Sprinkle with chopped walnuts.
- Stack & Arrange: Stack the biscuits in groups of four, creating four stacks. Transfer to the loaf pan, arranging them vertically (gently pressing to fit).
- Bake: Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the top is golden and crispy and a thermometer inserted into the center reads 165°F. Let cool on a wire rack.
- Make the Icing: Whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a bowl.
- Drizzle & Serve: Once cooled, remove the loaf from the pan, drizzle with icing, sprinkle with extra walnuts, and enjoy!
Notes
- Best Apples for Baking: Use Honeycrisp, Granny Smith, or Fuji for the best flavor.
- Make it Nut-Free: Skip the walnuts or replace them with rolled oats or pecans.
- Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
- Reheat: Warm slices in the microwave for 10-15 seconds before serving.
