Ingredients
Instructions
- Peel, core, and slice the Granny Smith apples.
- Combine the sliced apples with caramel topping and flour in a bowl.
- Spoon the apple mixture into a lightly greased 9 x 13-inch baking pan.
- Separate each biscuit into two thin biscuits and place them on top of the apples.
- Mix the brown sugar, whole pecans, and melted butter together.
- Drizzle the pecan mixture over the biscuits.
- Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 30 minutes until golden and bubbly.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider using a mix of Granny Smith and Honeycrisp apples for a sweet-tart balance. If you don't have pecans, walnuts can be a great substitute. Ensure the biscuits are separated thinly for an even bake, and don't skip the greasing step on the baking pan to prevent sticking.
