Skillet Cherry Pie Biscuits

Southern biscuits and cherry pie collide in these Skillet Cherry Pie Biscuits. Enjoy them for breakfast, brunch or as a comforting dessert any time of year.

Skillet Cherry Pie Biscuits are Dessert for Breakfast

Turn Cherry Pie into a Brunch Treat

This biscuit skillet is a cherry pie version, and I have to say, they are another fabulous way to make a fruity biscuit skillet.  You can serve them for breakfast, brunch or dessert with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.  If you'd like to make your own homemade biscuits, you can do that too, using my Fluffy Buttermilk Biscuit recipe.

Helpful Tips for Making Cherry Pie Biscuits

• These biscuits are baked in a cast iron skillet. They can be made in any similar sized oven safe skillet or baking dish.
• The cherry pie filling can be prepared in advance and chilled until assembling the biscuits to bake.
• This recipe calls for frozen biscuits, not refrigerated canned biscuits. They are very different in texture and flavor, follow the recipe for the best result.
• This recipe easily adapts to a cast iron Dutch oven for campfire cooking.
• Serve as is or, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for dessert.
