Weight Watchers Apple Pie Biscuits are so incredibly scrumptious that you won’t want to miss out on them. Each serving is just 3 Weight Watchers points!
I don’t know about you, but I will eat any version of apple pie there is. Whether it is mini apple pies, apple pie cupcakes, or other treats, anything with an apple filling instantly wins me over.

It really saves on the prep time, so you can focus on making the homemade apple filling.
The yummy filling has warm cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla. I personally like to use Granny Smith apples since they have a nice tartness to them, but you can use any kind of baking apples that you prefer. This recipe uses two cans of biscuits and serves 10 people, but you can always cut the recipe in half if you want to use just one can.

Ingredients in Weight Watchers Apple Pie Biscuits
- 2 ½ lb Apples, peeled and diced
- ¼ – ½ cup (to taste) Brown sugar replacement (or real brown sugar)
- 1 ¼ tsp Ground cinnamon
- 2 tsp cornstarch
- ¼ tsp Ground nutmeg
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1 ½ tbsp Lemon juice
- 2 tbsp Water
- 2 cans (7.5 oz each) of canned biscuits (I used Walmart Buttermilk biscuits)
Instructions for making Weight Watchers Apple Pie Biscuits
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Grease a 9-inch or 10-inch cake pan or other baking dish and line it with the biscuits.
- Make the filling by putting the diced apples, water, and lemon juice into a large pot. Cover and cook until the apples are nearly fork-tender (remove the lid to stir occasionally).
- Mix ¼ cup sweetener, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cornstarch together. Sprinkle over apples and mix to combine. Allow the sweetener to dissolve and then the mixture to thicken. Give the mixture a taste test and add more sweetener or spices to taste.
4. Meanwhile, bake the biscuits for 8 minutes. Remove them from the oven and spoon the thickened apple mixture over top.
5. Return to the oven and bake for 5-10 minutes longer, until the apple mixture is bubbly and the biscuits are cooked through. You can make an optional glaze for serving or serve with your preferred apple pie topping.
Variations and Substitutions
- Homemade Biscuits: if you wish, you can make homemade biscuits instead of using canned biscuits. Use the apple filling recipe as a guideline. This recipe uses enough biscuits to line a 9-inch cake pan.
- Jumbo Biscuits: You can adjust the recipe by combining two biscuits for larger ones or using jumbo biscuits. Walmart’s buttermilk biscuits are low in points, so even combining two for a bigger biscuit keeps the point count low.
- Sweetener vs Sugar: feel free to use regular brown sugar if you don’t want to use zero-calorie sweetener. You can also use granulated sugar or sweetener instead of the brown sugar version! It will have a slightly different flavor but will be equally delicious.
- Splurge Version: If you have some extra points to use up, feel free to serve these apple pie biscuits with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, a dollop of whipped cream, or a dusting of powdered sugar. You can also create a delicious glaze by mixing powdered sugar and milk and then drizzling it over top.
Tips and Tricks for Making Weight Watchers Apple Pie Biscuits
- Ensure the apples are cooked thoroughly before adding the sweetener and other ingredients to the filling. Undercooked apples will be too crisp, whereas they should be soft enough to be pierced with a fork.
- Serve hot for best results! This dessert is so incredibly delicious right when you pull it out of the oven and the biscuits and filling are still warm.
- Store any leftovers in the baking dish you used or transfer them to an airtight container. They will keep fresh in the refrigerator for 3-4 days or in the freezer for about 3 months. Reheat in the microwave or oven!
