Ingredients
- 1 (21-ounce) can strawberry pie filling
- ½ cup light brown sugar, packed (or substitute white sugar)
- ¼ cup (½ stick) salted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 (6-ounce) cans Pillsbury Grands homestyle biscuits (you’ll need 10 biscuits total)
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 Tablespoon milk
Instructions
1. Prepare the Oven and Baking Dish
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking. This ensures that your dessert bakes evenly and is easy to serve.
2. Mix the Base Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, stir together the strawberry pie filling, brown sugar, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined. This forms the sweet, gooey base of the dessert. The butter helps enhance the richness, while the vanilla extract adds depth of flavor.
3. Cut and Add the Biscuits
Take the refrigerated biscuit dough and cut each biscuit into eight equal pieces. Cutting them into small chunks ensures even baking and allows the filling to coat every piece, creating a soft, caramelized texture.
Add the biscuit pieces to the strawberry mixture, stirring gently to coat them evenly. Be careful not to overmix—just ensure that the biscuits are fully covered in the filling.
4. Transfer to the Baking Dish
Pour the coated biscuit mixture into your greased 9×13-inch baking dish, spreading it out into an even layer.
5. Bake Until Golden and Bubbly
Place the dish in the oven and bake for 45-50 minutes or until:
- The top is golden brown.
- The biscuits are fully cooked through.
- The filling is bubbling around the edges.
Tip: If you notice that the top is browning too quickly, loosely cover the dish with aluminum foil during the last 10 minutes of baking.
6. Make the Glaze
While the dessert cools slightly, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and milk until smooth. The glaze should be thick but pourable. If it’s too thick, add a few extra drops of milk; if it’s too thin, add a little more powdered sugar.
7. Finish and Serve
Drizzle the glaze evenly over the baked Strawberry Bubble-Up and serve warm.
Notes
Common Troubleshooting Issues:
- The biscuits aren’t cooking through – Make sure they’re evenly spread out in the baking dish. Overcrowding can lead to uneven baking.
- The top is browning too fast – Cover loosely with foil for the last 10 minutes to prevent burning.
- Too sweet? – Reduce the brown sugar slightly or use unsweetened pie filling to balance the flavors.
- Not enough glaze? – If you prefer extra glaze, simply double the powdered sugar and milk when preparing it.
Efficiency Tips for Beginners:
- Cut the biscuits ahead of time – If you want to save time, cut the biscuits earlier and store them in an airtight container in the fridge until needed.
- Use a spatula to mix – This prevents the biscuits from getting crushed while coating them in the filling.
- Line the baking dish – If you’re worried about cleanup, line the dish with parchment paper for easy removal.
