Ingredients for Apple Pie Biscuits
For the Biscuits:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 2/3 cup milk (you can use whole milk or buttermilk for a richer flavor)
For the Apple Pie Filling:
- 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work great)
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
For the Glaze:
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1-2 teaspoons milk (adjust to desired consistency)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
How to Make Apple Pie Biscuits
Step 1: Prepare the Apple Pie Filling
- Cook the Apples: In a medium skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced apples and cook for about 5-7 minutes, until they begin to soften.
- Add Sugar and Spices: Stir in the brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg (if using), and lemon juice. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the apples are tender and the sugar has melted into a syrupy consistency. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
Step 2: Make the Biscuit Dough
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
- Cut in the Butter: Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your hands, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized pieces of butter.
- Add the Milk: Pour in the milk and stir until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix the dough, as this can make the biscuits tough.
- Knead and Roll: Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently knead it a few times to bring it together. Roll the dough out to about 1/2 inch thickness.
Step 3: Assemble the Biscuits
- Cut the Biscuits: Use a round biscuit cutter or a drinking glass to cut out circles of dough.
- Fill the Biscuits: Place a spoonful of the prepared apple pie filling in the center of each biscuit circle. Fold the edges of the dough around the filling, pinching them together to form a pocket or ball. Place the filled biscuits on a greased baking sheet.
