Apple Pie Biscuits

Prep Time: 20 mins | Cook Time: 15 mins | Total Time: 35 mins
Servings: 8-10 biscuits

Ingredients:

For the Biscuits:

• 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour

• 1 tbsp baking powder

• 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar

• 1/2 tsp salt

• 1/2 cup (1 stick / 115g) cold unsalted butter, cubed

• 3/4 cup (180ml) cold buttermilk (or milk + 1 tsp vinegar)

For the Apple Filling:

• 1 1/2 cups (about 2 medium) apples, peeled & finely diced (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work well)

• 2 tbsp brown sugar

• 1 tsp cinnamon

• 1/4 tsp nutmeg

• 1 tbsp butter (for cooking)

• 1 tsp lemon juice (optional, to prevent browning)

For Topping (Optional):

• 1 tbsp melted butter

• Cinnamon-sugar mixture (1 tbsp sugar + 1/2 tsp cinnamon)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Apple Filling:

   • In a small skillet, melt 1 tbsp butter over medium heat. Add diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice.

   • Cook for 4-5 minutes until apples soften slightly. Remove from heat and let cool.

2. Make the Biscuit Dough:

   • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.

   • Cut in cold butter using a pastry cutter or fingers until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

   • Stir in cold buttermilk until just combined (don’t overmix).

3. Assemble the Biscuits:

   • Turn dough onto a floured surface and gently pat into a rectangle (~1/2 inch thick).

   • Spread the cooled apple filling evenly over half the dough. Fold the other half over like a book.

   • Cut into squares or use a round biscuit cutter (about 2-3 inches).

4. Bake:

   • Place biscuits on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

   • Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 12-15 minutes until golden.

5. Finish (Optional):

   • Brush warm biscuits with melted butter and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.

Serving Suggestions:

• Enjoy warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce.

• Perfect with coffee or tea for a cozy breakfast!
