📋 Ingredients:

For the Biscuits:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour 🌾
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar 🍬
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder 🌾
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt 🧂
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed 🧈
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk (or milk with a tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar) 🥛

For the Apple Filling:

  • 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced 🍏
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar 🍬
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 🌰
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional) 🌰
  • 1 tablespoon butter 🧈

For the Topping:

  • 1 tablespoon melted butter 🧈
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar mixed with 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon 🍬🌰

📝 Instructions:

1. Prepare the Apple Filling:

  1. Cook the apples:
  • In a medium skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the diced apples, 1/4 cup of sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the apples are soft and caramelized, about 5-7 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.

2. Make the Biscuit Dough:

  1. Mix the dry ingredients:
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  1. Cut in the butter:
  • Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  1. Add the buttermilk:
  • Pour in the buttermilk and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky.

3. Assemble the Biscuits:

  1. Roll out the dough:
  • Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently pat or roll it into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick.
  1. Add the apple filling:
  • Spread the cooled apple filling evenly over the dough.
  1. Fold and cut:
  • Fold the dough over the apple filling (like folding a letter) and gently press it down. Use a biscuit cutter or a knife to cut out biscuits. You should get about 8-10 biscuits, depending on the size of your cutter.

4. Bake the Biscuits:

  1. Preheat the oven:
  • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  1. Bake:
  • Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet and brush the tops with melted butter. Sprinkle with the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.

5. Serve:

  1. Serve warm:
  • Serve the Apple Pie Biscuits warm, either on their own or with a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce.
