Expert Tips
- Use Fresh Apples: You could certainly use fresh, diced apples, instead of apple pie filling here. Just be sure to dice them small and uniform in size. Saute the apples first in some butter with spices and a sprinkle of flour – this will give them that apple pie filling like texture.
- Get The Perfect Bake: You’ll know when the rolls are cooked through when the dough is puffed up, golden brown, and the edges pull slightly away from the sides of the pan.
- Add Nuts: Add toasted, chopped nuts for flavor and texture. Pecans or walnuts would be delicious.
Storage
- If you’ve got leftovers, lucky you! Store them on the counter, covered, for 2 days. Or store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. The quicker you eat them, the fresher they’ll taste. You can freeze these sticky buns, too. Wrap them in plastic and store in an airtight container for up to 2 months.
- To reheat leftovers, place in a 350-degree oven until warmed through, about 10-15 minutes. And I like to cover the dish with a piece of foil, to prevent them from getting too brown or drying out. You can also reheat these in the microwave, just add a drizzle of water overtop to keep them moist.
- You can make these ahead of time too, which is super convenient. Assemble everything and place in the fridge, covered, until you’re ready to bake. The flavors will actually continue to develop and meld as the unbaked rolls sit.
FAQs
How do I know when the dough is done baking?
When the dough is puffed up and golden brown, and the edges pull slightly away from the sides of the pan is how you can tell that everything is cooked through.
Can I use fresh apples instead of canned apple pie filling?
Definitely, fresh apples are super fresh in flavor. You’ll just want to be sure to dice them in small, uniform pieces so they cook evenly. Saute them in butter with sugar, spices like cinnamon and nutmeg, and flour or cornstarch until slightly softened and thickened before adding to the biscuit dough and the rest of the ingredients.
Can I add nuts?
Absolutely. Nuts add great flavor and texture. Pecans, almonds or walnuts would be delicious.
