Equipment

  • 1 small iron skillet

Ingredients

  • 1 medium apple I use Honeycrisp
  • 1 pkg. 5 ct. canned biscuits (Grands are good)
  • 1/3 cup chopped pecans
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 Tbsp. Unsalted butter
  • Dash of cinnamon sugar

Instructions

  • Peel and chop the apples into bite size pieces and set aside. No need to toss with lemon juice because these apples will be cooked.
  • Preheat your oven to 325°
  • Melt the butter in a small iron skillet on medium-high heat.
  • Once the butter is almost completely melted, add in the brown sugar and stir until dissolved. I like to use a wooden spoon for this.
  • Then add all but about ¼ cup of the chopped apples. Stir often and cook until the apples are soft and caramelized which should take about 10-15 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and place the cut-up biscuits and remaining apple pieces on top of the caramelized apple mixture.
  • Sprinkle with Cinnamon Sugar and bake at 325° until golden brown, about 12-18 minutes. (oven temperatures vary, check often)
  • Remove from oven and cool for a few minutes before inverting.
  • To invert: 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 apple-pecan bottom is the top!
  • Serve and enjoy!
