Directions
Prepare the Bake
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Mix the biscuits: In a large bowl, toss the quartered biscuit pieces with melted butter, cinnamon, and sugar (if using).
- Layer the dish: Spread half of the biscuit pieces evenly in the bottom of the prepared dish. Spoon half of the cherry pie filling on top. Repeat with another layer of biscuits and pie filling.
Bake
- Bake: Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through. If the top begins to brown too quickly, tent the dish with foil for the last 10 minutes of baking.
Finish and Serve
- Add toppings: Drizzle with powdered sugar glaze, sprinkle with nuts, or dollop with whipped cream, if desired.
- Serve warm: Enjoy as is or with a side of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent treat.

Variations

- Homemade Dough: Replace refrigerated biscuit dough with homemade biscuit or sweet bread dough for a personalized touch.
Storage/Reheating
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheating: Warm individual portions in the microwave for 15–20 seconds, or reheat the entire dish in a 300°F (150°C) oven for 10 minutes.
- Freezing: This dish is best enjoyed fresh but can be frozen unbaked. Assemble the layers in a freezer-safe dish, wrap tightly, and bake from frozen, adding 10–15 minutes to the bake time.
