What is a bubble-up bake?
A bubble-up bake is a simple, satisfying dish that incorporates a variety of ingredients with slices of pre-made biscuits, like Pillsbury™ Grands!™! Bubble-up recipes are available for every meal of the day, even dessert. Golden, buttery biscuits (or cinnamon rolls, as in this Caramel Apple Crisp Bubble-Up Bake), that combine with other fillings to bake and bubble in the oven. Whatever bubble-up creation you try, rest assured your whole family will be coming back for seconds!
How should I serve Caramel Apple Crisp Bubble-Up Bake?
For the very best results, avoid serving your Caramel Apple Crisp Bubble-Up Bake when it’s just out of the oven. Let your creation sit for 10 minutes, then drizzle with gooey caramel and sweet frosting. This dish is delightful on its own, but we’re certain no one will say no to a dollop of whipped topping or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
