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.

Can you double the recipe and bake it in a 9 x 13 pan? I need to make it for more people.
Kristin says
Sure!! You may have to increase the baking time, but other than that, it should work great!
sherry says
I left in 45 min still alittle doughy do need to leave in longer or need to double topping
Kristin says
Go ahead and leave in a little longer. Every oven is different, mine takes about 45 minutes, but I do know that my mom’s oven can take about 55 minutes sometimes until its crispy on top! Enjoy!!
Joyce says
Looks yummy…of course there are no calories!! Looks so easy.
Kristin says
Hope you enjoy!!
Anonymous says
Instead of pie filling can I just use regular apples or do I need to add something to them??
Kristin says
Hmmm, you will want some type of “liquid”, so maybe a little water with cinnamon/sugar on them??
Heather says
What about adding Carmel to it. Like a Carmel apple crisp. And how much you with I should add with out making it to sweet
Kristin says
Oooooh I bet that would be great! Drizzled on afterwards! I would cut the sugar down, by half, and then melt about 1/3 cup and drizzle it on top!! Great idea!!
Anna says
Im single but would like to try this. Can i cut the recipe in half and it still work. I would like to also add some cinnamon, how much would you suggest for the half version.
Kristin says
Hmmmm, good question on cutting this in half. I don’t see why that wouldn’t work, just be sure to lower the cook time. As for the cinnamon, that would be great! I would add about 1 tsp (roughly) if you halve the recipe 🙂
Let us know how it turns out!
Vicki says
Do you put the bis quick in dry?
Kristin says
Yes, this is similar to a dump cake recipe 🙂
cathy says
Bundt cake is not what you should use for this. I made it then thought this is not going to work. Too late I will not do this again. Why would you tell people to do this?
Kristin says
I simply use my bundt pan to cook this recipe since I have found it allows it to cook more evenly. I do not call this a bundt cake as this recipe cannot be taken out of the bundt pan without making a mess. This is more of a scoop into a bowl kind of dessert. Is that how yours turned out? You can also make it in a pan if desired.
Beverly A Harper says
U can do this recipe with fresh apples or any fruit u desire, for fresh apples, peaches, pears all u do is parboil them before , then add them with whatever seasonings are listed in the recipe.
Lori Myers says
My mom’s best friend used rhubarb in all her apple pies…one can of apple pie filling and 1 cup of chopped up rhubarb. She didn’t add any extra sugar as the pie filling is pretty sweet enough as is.
Kristin says
Sounds delicious!!!
Norma wall says
would you try something , with gluten free flour I love cobblers, but can’t do the flour, any more.
Kristin says
Hi Norma, here is a recipe from Betty Crocker that is gluten free and quite similar to our version. Hope that helps, 🙂
