Cherry Pie Bubble Breakfast Bake
This Cherry Pie Bubble Breakfast Bake uses refrigerated biscuits and cherry pie filling to create a gooey, pull-apart breakfast or brunch bake that tastes like a cross between cherry cobbler and monkey bread. It comes together in minutes, bakes in one pan, and is perfect for Christmas morning, holiday brunch, or a cozy weekend breakfast.

Ingredients
Breakfast Bake:
- 2 or 3 tubes refrigerated Pillsbury biscuits. If using Pillsburry Grands- only use 2 tubes of biscuits. For standard biscuits use 3 tubes.
- 1 21-ounce can cherry pie filling
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Prep the pan and biscuits:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish. Cut each tube of refrigerated biscuits into fourths and place all of the biscuit pieces into a large mixing bowl.
Combine with cherry filling and cinnamon:
- Add the cherry pie filling and ground cinnamon to the bowl with the biscuit pieces. Gently stir until all of the biscuit pieces are coated and the cherries are evenly distributed.
Transfer to the baking dish and bake:
- Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it into an even layer. Bake for about 25-35 minutes, or until the biscuits are cooked through and the top is golden and bubbly. If the top is browning too quickly and the center isn’t done, loosely tent the dish with foil for the last few minutes of baking.
Make the glaze:
- While the bake cools slightly, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth and pourable. Add a tiny splash more milk if needed to reach your desired consistency.
Glaze and serve:
- Drizzle the glaze over the warm cherry bubble breakfast bake. Serve warm for breakfast or brunch, or enjoy it as a dessert with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Notes
- Cut biscuits into small pieces so they bake through evenly and don’t stay doughy in the center.
- A 9x13-inch baking dish works best; deeper dishes may require a few extra minutes of bake time.
- If the top looks done but the middle is still a bit doughy, gently stir, spread back out, and return to the oven for a few more minutes.
- Swap the cherry pie filling for apple, blueberry, or peach pie filling for a fun flavor twist.
- Best served warm with glaze; also delicious as a dessert with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
