Description

Save the frying oil and bake cinnamon-sugar coated biscuits, apples, and pecans together to create a buttery, sweet treat.

Ingredients

1/2 cup white sugar
3 tablespoons ground cinnamon
1 (10 ounce) can refrigerated buttermilk biscuits, separated and cut into 1-inch chunks
1 apple, peeled and chopped
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup butter, melted
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2 Mix white sugar and cinnamon together in a large resealable bag; add biscuits and seal. Shake bag until biscuits are coated in cinnamon-sugar.
3 Arrange half the apples and half the pecans in a round formation in an 8x8-inch pan; top with half the coated biscuits. Arrange half the remaining apples and pecans in a second layer and top with coated biscuits.
4 Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat; dissolve brown sugar and vanilla extract in the melted butter. Pour butter-sugar mixture over biscuit mixture.
5 Bake in the preheated oven until biscuits are cooked through, about 35 minutes. Cool fritters in pan for 10 minutes before serving.
