15 Sweet Treats That Start With Canned Biscuit Dough

Tender pieces of biscuit dough — rolled in sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg — are sprinkled throughout the peach filling to make this cobbler a carb-lover's dream. 

Monkey bread is a classic use of canned biscuits. Cut into bite size pieces, the dough is tossed with a buttery sugar glaze before being baked in a bundt pan. This recipe is particularly fun for entertaining, as guests can pull off individual pieces to snack on. 

Flattening out biscuit dough makes it perfect for rolling into gooey cinnamon rolls. Reviewer Taylor says, "These are DELICIOUS! I decided to make these because I was craving cinnamon rolls and had some extra biscuits in the fridge. These were a hit at my house!"

Stone fruits are the star of this sweet cobbler. Peaches, nectarines, and plums combine under a layer of fluffy biscuit dough crust. 

Dumplings don't have to just be savory. Here, biscuit dough encases apple halves before baking to golden perfection in a cinnamon sauce. If you like extra tender apples, some reviewers suggest slicing or dicing the apples before baking.

For those days you crave monkey bread, but can't justify a full on Bundt pan, these mini muffins are here to satisfy your sweet tooth.

Love this twist on a classic my mother made for me."

Everyone seems to make these a little differently, but they still end up being quick, fun treats. LYNNINMA says, "I used 'Grands' biscuits and baked them rather than roasting on a spit. Once dipped in melted butter I rolled them in confectioner's sugar. I used a pastry bag to pump red raspberry jam into some of them. You've got to eat them while they are still warm. 

"This is an easy recipe and a nice change from the standard apple dumplings," says recipe creator JAGRANT. "I serve mine with a scoop of cinnamon ice cream."
