• Nutty Apple Pie Biscuits: Add chopped pecans or walnuts to the apple pie filling for added crunch and flavor.
• Cinnamon Roll Biscuits: Spread a mixture of softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon over the unbaked biscuits before adding the apple pie filling, then roll each biscuit into a spiral for a cinnamon roll-inspired treat.
• Apple Cranberry Biscuits: Mix dried cranberries into the apple pie filling for a tart contrast to the sweet apples.
• Spiced Apple Biscuits: Add extra spices such as ground cloves, allspice, or ginger to the brown sugar mixture for a more robust flavor.

Storage/Reheating

• Storage: Store any leftover biscuits in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• Freezing: Place cooled biscuits in a single layer on a baking sheet to freeze initially, then transfer them to a freezer-safe container or bag. They can be frozen for up to 2 months.
• Reheating: To reheat, place the biscuits in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes, or until warmed through. If reheating from frozen, allow a bit more time. Alternatively, microwave individual biscuits on a low setting for 20-30 seconds until warm.
