In a large pot, combine diced apples, water, and lemon juice. Cover and cook until apples are nearly fork-tender, stirring occasionally. Mix ¼ cup sweetener, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cornstarch, then sprinkle over apples. Stir to combine and let the mixture thicken. Taste and adjust the sweetness and spices.

Variations and Substitutions

For a more homemade touch, you can swap canned biscuits for freshly made ones using the apple filling recipe as a guide. This recipe typically uses enough biscuits to line a 9-inch cake pan, but feel free to adjust the quantity to suit your preferences. If you prefer larger biscuits, you can combine two regular biscuits or opt for jumbo ones, like Walmart’s low-point buttermilk biscuits, to keep the points in check. You can also replace the zero-calorie sweetener with regular brown sugar, granulated sugar, or another sweetener—just keep in mind that this will slightly alter the flavor, though it will still be delicious. If you’re looking to splurge a bit, top these apple pie biscuits with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or a light dusting of powdered sugar, or drizzle a sweet glaze made from powdered sugar and milk over the top.
Tips and Tricks for Making Weight Watchers Apple Pie Biscuits

For the best Weight Watchers Apple Pie Biscuits, make sure the apples are cooked thoroughly before adding sweeteners and other ingredients to the filling. Undercooked apples can be too crisp, while they should be soft enough to pierce with a fork. Serve the biscuits hot for optimal flavor, as they’re most delicious right out of the oven with warm biscuits and filling. Leftovers can be stored in the baking dish or an airtight container, keeping fresh for 3-4 days in the fridge or up to 3 months in the freezer. Reheat them in the microwave or oven to enjoy again!
