Ingredients
 

  • 16.3 oz can Pillsbury Grands Southern Biscuits halved horizontally
  • 1/4 cup Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cinnadust see note
  • 1 cup apple butter
  • 1 cup peeled and chopped apples
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste
  • 1 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon

Frosting

  • 4 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste
  • 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter or spritz with non-stick spray a 9”x5” or 8”x4” loaf pan.
  • In a small bowl, stir together apple butter, apples, egg, brown sugar, vanilla and pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon.
  • Split the biscuits horizontally by gently peeling them apart at the middle layer. 
  • To build the loaf, tilt the pan at a slightly upward angle on one short end. Create the loaf layers by starting with a biscuit dough halve that’s been coated on both sides with Cinnadust. Lay the dough inside the pan on the short side laying on the counter. Add a tablespoon of the apple butter mixture on top of the dough in the center. Repeat these layers, coated biscuit then apple butter mixture, ending with the last coated biscuit at the top short of the loaf pan.
  • Bake 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is cooked through. The apple butter apple area will still be tender, but cooked.
  • For the frosting, place cream cheese, powdered sugar, maple syrup, vanilla and pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon in a medium bowl. Mix with a hand mixer until smooth and creamy.
  • Spread the frosting on top of the golden brown loaf.
