1/2 cup cream soda (optional)

Directions for the filling:

*Please see the recipe card below for detailed instructions and important recipe notes!

Add coconut oil in a skillet on medium heat.

1. Once the oil has melted, add the apples, cinnamon, honey, vanilla extract, oats, and cover with cream soda.

Pan-seared cinnamon biscuits

Ingredients: 

*Please see the recipe card below for detailed instructions and important recipe notes!

1 Can of refrigerated biscuits (I use these but Pilsbury Grands! or similar would work too!)

1/3 cup butter, softened

2 tablespoon brown sugar

1 teaspoon cinnamon 

Instructions:

*Please see the recipe card below for detailed instructions and important recipe notes!

1. Bake refrigerated canned biscuits in the oven according to directions on the can.
2. When the biscuits are done, remove from oven and allow to cool slightly. Once they are cool enough to handle, use a spatula to press down on the biscuit and smack it down slightly. It doesn’t have to be completely flat, but you want a smooth service to butter and sear. 
3. In a small bowl, add butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon and mix until combined. Butter each side of the biscuit (top and bottom), with the butter mixture.
4. In a skillet on medium heat, add biscuit and cook for about 1 minute on each side to sear the surface and cook the sugar. This will give the biscuits a sweet, cinnamony crunch when you bite into it!
5. Remove from heat and place one dish. Cover with the prepared apple pie topping. If you have leftover butter mixture, you can heat it until the butter melts and drizzle over the top for a little extra sweetness!
6. Garnish with a little extra cinnamon or add a scoop of ice cream to turn this yummy breakfast into a warm and sweet dessert!

Notes

If you don't have Cream Soda, leave it out! It adds a little extra flavor and sugar but the recipe will work without it.

Butter can be substituted for coconut oil if desired.

This recipe does not refrigerate or freeze well and is best eaten warm!

Pan searing the biscuits gives them a sweet crunch (like monkey bread) but you can skip this step if you prefer.
