I’ve put together a list of my favorite Pillsbury apple recipes that’ll have your kitchen smelling amazing in no time!
1. Classic Pillsbury Apple Turnovers
Nothing beats a warm, flaky apple turnover fresh out of the oven! I take Pillsbury puff pastry, load it with cinnamon-spiced apple filling, and bake it until golden brown.
The result? Buttery, crispy layers hugging a sweet, gooey center. Oh, and don’t forget the drizzle of vanilla glaze on top—because life is better with a little extra sweetness!
2. Easy Apple Cinnamon Rolls with Pillsbury Dough
Cinnamon rolls are already a treat, but when you add apples? Chef’s kiss! I roll out Pillsbury crescent dough, spread a generous layer of brown sugar, cinnamon, and finely chopped apples, then roll them up and bake until golden.
Top them with a dreamy cream cheese frosting, and you’ve got yourself a breakfast worth waking up for!
3. Pillsbury Apple Pie Crescents
These little pockets of joy are like mini apple pies but way easier to make. I use Pillsbury crescent rolls, fill them with apple pie filling, and roll them up.
A quick brush of butter, a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar, and a short trip to the oven later—you’ve got warm, handheld apple pies ready to be devoured!
4. Caramel Apple Monkey Bread
Imagine pulling apart warm, sticky caramel-drenched bites of apple goodness. That’s what you get with this Pillsbury monkey bread recipe!
I coat biscuit dough pieces in cinnamon sugar, toss them with caramel and diced apples, then bake until golden and gooey. The best part? No utensils required—just grab, pull, and enjoy!
5. Apple-Stuffed Biscuit Bombs
These bite-sized delights explode with warm apple filling the moment you take a bite! I wrap cinnamon-spiced apples in Pillsbury biscuit dough, bake them to golden perfection, and brush them with melted butter and cinnamon sugar. Warning: They disappear fast—so make extra!
6. Pillsbury Apple Danish Braid
If you want to impress without the stress, this apple Danish braid is your secret weapon. I layer Pillsbury puff pastry with a sweet apple filling, cut slits on the sides, and fold them over like a fancy bakery-style braid.
A quick bake and a drizzle of icing later, and you’ve got a pastry that looks (and tastes) straight out of a café.
7. Apple Pie Bars with Crescent Dough
Sometimes, I don’t want to deal with the hassle of a full pie—so I make these apple pie bars instead! I press Pillsbury crescent roll dough into a baking dish, layer it with cinnamon apples, and top it with a second layer of dough.
Bake, slice, and serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Trust me, you won’t miss the traditional pie crust one bit!
8. Baked Apple Fritters Using Biscuit Dough
Forget standing over hot oil—these baked apple fritters are just as delicious without the mess! I mix chopped apples into Pillsbury biscuit dough, shape them into little fritters, and bake until golden.
A simple powdered sugar glaze on top makes them downright addictive.
9. Pillsbury Apple Galette
A galette is like the low-maintenance cousin of pie. I roll out Pillsbury pie crust, pile on sweet cinnamon apples, fold the edges over, and bake it until golden brown.
It’s rustic, effortless, and perfect with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. Fancy and easy? Yes, please!
10. Cinnamon Sugar Apple Ring Donuts
Donuts made from Pillsbury dough? Oh, you bet. I cut biscuit dough into rings, bake them until fluffy, then toss them in cinnamon sugar while they’re still warm.
The apple filling inside makes them taste like fall in every bite. And since they’re baked, you can totally eat two (or three) guilt-free!
11. Pillsbury Apple Tartlets with Honey Drizzle
These mini apple tarts are as adorable as they are delicious! I use Pillsbury pie dough to create little tart shells, fill them with caramelized apples, and bake until perfectly golden.
A drizzle of honey on top adds the final touch of sweetness that makes these irresistible!
12. Mini Apple Cheesecake Bites with Crescent Crust
Apple pie meets cheesecake in these heavenly little bites! I press Pillsbury crescent roll dough into muffin tins, fill them with a rich cheesecake and apple mixture, then bake until creamy and golden.
One bite, and you’ll wonder where these have been all your life!
13. Apple Cinnamon Biscuit Pull-Apart Bread
If you love monkey bread, this pull-apart version is a must-try! I layer Pillsbury biscuit dough with cinnamon apples and bake until golden brown.
Then, I smother the whole thing in a sweet glaze. It’s ooey, gooey, and made for sharing—though I won’t judge if you keep it all for yourself.
14. Pillsbury Apple Puff Pastry Twists
Twisted, flaky, and full of cinnamon-apple goodness—these puff pastry twists are a fun way to snack! I spread an apple mixture over Pillsbury puff pastry, slice it into strips, twist, and bake.
They come out crispy, buttery, and absolutely perfect for dipping in caramel sauce!
