- Mix 1/4 cup cinnamon and 1/2 cup sugar together in a shallow dish.
- Roll each pie in the cinnamon and sugar mixture until coated.
- Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat.
- Add 1 cup of sugar and the milk to the melted butter, stirring until combined.

Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a dash of vanilla extract to the apple pie filling. If you want a lighter coating, reduce the sugar in the cinnamon mixture or use a sugar substitute. You can also use homemade apple pie filling for a more authentic taste. If you're short on time, pre-made pie crust can be used instead of biscuits for a quicker assembly.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these baked apple pies warm, drizzled with Easy Rich Caramel Sauce for an indulgent twist. They pair well with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. For a complete meal, consider serving with a side of fresh fruit salad or a light green salad to balance the sweetness.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover baked apple pies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes until warmed through. You can also microwave them for a quicker option, but they may lose some crispiness.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh apples instead of canned apple pie filling?
Yes, you can use fresh apples! Just peel, core, and slice them, then sauté in a pan with sugar and cinnamon until tender. This gives you a fresher taste and allows you to control the sweetness.
What can I substitute for the butter?
You can substitute the butter with coconut oil or a plant-based butter for a dairy-free option. This will still provide a rich flavor and help the pies stay moist.
How can I make these pies more visually appealing?
To enhance presentation, you can sprinkle a little extra cinnamon sugar on top before baking or brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle with coarse sugar for a sparkling finish. Adding a light dusting of powdered sugar before serving can also elevate their appearance.
