Fall recipes are everywhere! Pumpkins and Apples make everything better. Why do we wait until Fall to use those ingredients? I don’t know but I want to share one more with you! I sat down with a large stack of some of my favorite cookbooks in search of ‘something different’. It needed to be easy, tasty and use apples because I had three Honeycrisp sitting on the kitchen counter. I did not find the perfect recipe but I did come across one which inspired me to create this Upside Down Skillet Caramelized Apple Pecan Biscuits recipe.
The printable recipe is below but first let me show you the steps in luscious pictures.
Ingredients
1 Apple (I used Honeycrisp)
1 Can 5ct. biscuits (I used Grands)
1/3 Cup chopped pecans
1/4 Cup brown sugar
2 Tbsp. butter
Dash Cinnamon sugar
Yes, it is a long name but seriously I couldn’t think of a single word to leave out! I made it in my little iron skillet, the apples are caramelized and well, you see those luscious pecans! The bottom will become the top so that baby is upside down!
All you need is an iron skillet, butter, an apple, brown sugar, pecans and biscuits.
Cut the apple into small pieces as shown
Gracious goodness, those apples sure do look delicious caramelizing with the pecans!
Now place the biscuit pieces on top of the caramelized mixture. Then place the remaining cut up apples on top of the biscuit pieces. Sprinkle with Cinnamon Sugar if desired.
Fresh from the oven! The top is about to become the bottom. No need to wait on it to cool.
Place a plate on top of the iron skillet as shown. The iron skillet will still be very hot so use caution and pot holders! Flip the plate and skillet over together.
Fresh from the oven!
Just the right amount of caramel dripping through the biscuits! My hubs loved it so much he has plans for me to make it again this weekend. That makes me smile.
- 1 pkg. of 5 biscuits (I use Grands)
- 2 Tbsp. Butter
- 1 Apple peeled and chopped
- ¼ Cup brown sugar
- ⅓ Cup chopped pecans
- Dash of Cinnamon Sugar
- Melt the butter in a small iron skillet at medium high heat. Add in the brown sugar and stir until dissolved. Then add all but about ¼ cup of the chopped apples. Stir often and cook until the apples are soft and caramelized which will take about 10-15 minutes.
- Remove from heat and place the cut up biscuits and remaining apple pieces on top of the caramelized apples mixture. Sprinkle with Cinnamon Sugar and bake at 325° until golden brown, about 12-18 minutes.(oven temperatures vary, check often)
- Remove from oven. Place your serving plate on top of the iron skillet covering the bread. Carefully, using pot holders as the skillet is very hot, flip the skillet over with the plate. Now the caramelized bottom is the top!
- Serve and enjoy!

Oh my, Shirley! I am so hoping I have all the ingredients to make this or else I’ll have to go to the grocery. Looks so good with all the perfect ingredients!!!
Sinea Pies says
Wow! Good thing I don’t have this made right now. I’d eat the whole thing and no one would be the wiser. LOL!!
Pinned it.
Would love it if you’d stop by Wonderful Wednesday Blog Hop on Ducks ‘n a Row sometime to share this.
Shirley Wood says
That’s funny because I ate the last piece and THEN asked my hubs if he was disappointed when I did it 🙂 He said, “I had plans for that which included a big glass of milk!” 🙂
Shirley Wood says
Thanks for the invitation! I sure will stop by and share 🙂

Love it! I’ve made cinnamon rolls this way, but this recipe takes it over the top. Honey crisp are my fave apples. I recently made apple butter with them for my fall hostess gift post.
Shirley Wood says
Oh yes, we love those Honeycrisp apples. I like to buy the really big ones at the Fresh Market! Yum!
