Ingredient Notes

Full ingredient measurements and instructions can be found in the recipe card below.

• Apple Pie Filling: Two cans of apple pie filling keep this Bisquick apple cobbler quick and simple. I use canned filling to save time, but fresh apples work with a few adjustments. See variations below. Another fun way to use canned apple pie filling is my Easy Apple Dessert Pizza, which has a cinnamon crumble topping and caramel drizzle!
• Bisquick Mix: The star of the show! Regular Bisquick baking mix creates the golden topping. Gluten-free Bisquick may also work, although the texture can vary. If you love baking with Bisquick, try my Bisquick Coffee Cake too!
• Sugar: Adds sweetness to the topping. Swap half for light brown sugar for a slightly caramelized flavor.
• Butter: Melted butter helps give the cobbler topping its golden brown finish and buttery flavor.
• Pecans (optional): Add a little crunch to balance the soft apple filling.

Variations

• Fresh Apples: Want to make apple cobbler using Bisquick and fresh apples? Try Honeycrisp, Granny Smith, or Gala. Peel, dice, and cook the apples with a little sugar, cinnamon, and water until softened and saucy before using them in place of the canned filling. Have extra apples to use up? My Apple Fritter Bread is another family favorite packed with cinnamon and apples!
• Spices: Add cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, or pumpkin pie spice for extra fall flavor.
• Brown Sugar Topping: Swap some of the white sugar for light brown sugar for a slightly caramelized topping.
• Different Baking Dishes: Try an 8×8 baking dish, cast iron skillet, or individual ramekins. Baking times may vary, so watch for a golden topping and bubbling filling. Love skillet desserts? My Cast Iron Cherry Cobbler is another fruity dessert with a buttery topping that’s perfect served warm with ice cream!

How to make Bisquick Apple Cobbler with Canned Pie Filling

Step 1. Prepare the pan: Grease a Bundt pan (or 8×8 baking dish). Add the canned apple pie filling and spread evenly across the bottom.

Step 2. Add Bisquick: Sprinkle the dry Bisquick baking mix evenly over the apple filling.

Step 3. Add sugar: Sprinkle sugar evenly over the Bisquick layer.

Step 4. Add butter and nuts: Pour melted butter evenly over the sugar layer. Sprinkle chopped pecans on top, if using.

Step 5. Bake: Place in the oven and bake for about 40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apple filling is bubbling around the edges.

Step 6. Serve: Scoop the warm apple cobbler into bowls and top with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or caramel sauce.

Baking Tips for Success

• Even Layers: Sprinkle the Bisquick mix evenly over the apple filling for a consistent topping.
• Don’t Mix the Bisquick: Add the baking mix dry, without milk or water. The melted butter helps create the golden topping as it bakes.
• Golden Brown Top: Don’t underbake! The topping should be golden brown with the apple filling bubbling around the edges.
• Serve Warm: This apple cobbler is best enjoyed warm with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or caramel sauce.
• Gluten-Free Option: Try gluten-free Bisquick in place of regular Bisquick. The topping’s texture may vary.

Serving & Storage

• Best Served Fresh: Enjoy warm from the oven with your favorite toppings.
• Storage: Allow leftovers to cool, then refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
• Reheat: Warm in a 350°F oven for 10-15 minutes or microwave in 30-second increments until heated through.
• Make Ahead: Prepare the ingredients ahead of time, but keep the dry Bisquick mixture separate from the apple filling until you’re ready to bake.

Note: I don’t recommend freezing baked Bisquick apple cobbler since the topping may become soggy once thawed.
