How to make Bisquick Apple Cobbler with Canned Pie Filling
Step 1. Grease your bundt pan (or 8×8 pan). Add Pie Filling and spread evenly on the bottom.
Step 2. Top with Bisquick, sprinkle evenly over the filling.
Step 3. Sprinkle sugar evenly on top of Bisquick layer.
Step 4. Pour melted butter on top of sugar layer. Add the chopped nuts over the melted butter (if using) and place pan into oven.
Step 5. Bake until cooked through- once topping is golden brown, the apple cobbler is ready to be removed from oven.
Step 6. Serve- scoop into bowls and top with ice cream, caramel sauce, or whipped cream.
Baking Tips for Success
- Even Layers - Spread Bisquick evenly for a consistent crust.
- Golden Brown Top - Don't underbake; you want that crisp topping.
- Serve Warm - Best enjoyed fresh from the oven with toppings of choice.
- Gluten-Free Option - Simply swap regular Bisquick for the gluten-free version.
Serving & Storage
- Best Served Fresh - Warm, straight from the oven.
- Storage - Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
- Reheat - Oven: 350°F for 10-15 minutes. Microwave: 30-second increments.
- Make Ahead - Assemble, cover, and refrigerate up to 2 days before baking.
👉 Note: I don't recommend freezing baked Bisquick apple cobbler as the crust may become soggy.

What size cans if pie filling?

May says
This is apple picking season – would like to see a recipe using fresh fruit – not canned
Kristin says
We made this a few months back when they weren’t in season, 🙁
We have some yummy fresh apple recipes coming up though!! Stay tuned, 🙂
Beverly says
Can I use canned peaches?
Kristin says
Definitely!! We have tried it and its SO yummy!!! Enjoy!!
Lyn says
do you turn the cake out of the bundt pan after baking it?
Kristin says
Nope, you just scoop it with a spoon and add some ice cream 🙂
You can also make this in a 11×7 baking dish, or possibly even an 8×8
I just prefer the look of it in the bundt pan, hehe!!
Judy says
This is just the dump cak cake.. using bisquik instead of a cake mi
x
Kristin says
And both are equally as yummy, 🙂
Judy says
Can I cut back on the butter, by at least 1/2?
Kristin says
I’m not sure if that would work only because the butter is the liquid that activates the Bisquick to form into a cake like consistency. You could try using coconut oil as a substitute to some of the butter, maybe 1 stick butter, 8 tbsp coconut oil?? Let me know how it turns out and what you end up trying!! 🙂
Jasmine Sailor says
I must try this!! It sounds so good!
Kristin says
Let us know what you think if you try it!!!
Jodie says
This sounds so yummy, but I don’t have a bundt pan – has anyone used a different kind of pan?
Kristin says
This works great in an 8×8 baking pan too!!! 🙂
Cathy says
Can this be done with pears?
Kristin says
Sure! Any pie filling works and if you want to use fresh fruit, simply make a homemade pie filling using sugar, water, and cornstarch 🙂
Jen L says
Any ideas on how to adapt using fresh apples?
Kristin says
In order to use fresh apples with this recipe, you need to make an apple pie filling from scratch. The link below is to a recipe I have used before and works great!! Hope that helps, 🙂

Rebecca says
Can i use Rhubarb? would i need to adjust anything
Kristin says
Hmmm, I am not sure. You could try it, but you would want to create some type of liquid/sauce. The pie filling has a syrup to it, so if you could create that, maybe by adding some sugar water and the rhubarb in a saucepan? it may work. Keep us posted on what you try!!
Heather Funches says
For a sugar free crisp I used the sugar free pie filling and then I topped it with the Kasha granola cereal, drizzled with butter and baked it until it was crispy. It was wonderful and my diabetic patients loved being included.
Otherwise all the other residents loved this version of the crisp. Thanks I always love new crisp recipes.
Kristin says
Oh I love that you were able to make it low sugar!!! So glad it was a hit, I bet you had a lot of happy smiles from the people that ate this!! 🙂
tamara bradley says

Definitely!! I am going blackberry picking next week and will play around with the recipe a bit. Stay tuned for it towards the end of next week!! 🙂
Leslie says
Can you use Splenda instead of sugar

Sure! That should work great!
