Ingredients
For the Biscuits:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup cold butter, cubed
- 3/4 cup milk
For the Apple Filling:
- 2 large apples, peeled, cored, and diced
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2-3 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
Prepare the Apple Filling
Start by melting the butter in a medium-sized skillet over medium heat. Add the diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg, stirring to coat the apples evenly. Cook the mixture for about 5-7 minutes, or until the apples are soft and caramelized. Once done, remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Set the apple filling aside to cool slightly while you prepare the biscuit dough.
Make the Biscuit Dough
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut in the cold, cubed butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add the milk, stirring until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix, as you want the biscuits to remain light and tender.
Assemble the Biscuits
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the biscuit dough to about 1/2-inch thickness. Using a biscuit cutter or a glass, cut out rounds of dough and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Spoon a small amount of the apple filling onto the center of each dough round. Fold the dough over the filling, pinching the edges together to seal. Gently flatten each biscuit slightly with your hand to help the filling spread evenly as it bakes.
Bake the Biscuits
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through. The aroma of cinnamon and apples will fill your kitchen, signaling that these delicious treats are nearly ready.
Glaze the Biscuits
While the biscuits are baking, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth. Once the biscuits are out of the oven and slightly cooled, drizzle the glaze over the top of each one, allowing it to seep into the cracks and crevices.
Serve and Enjoy
These Apple Pie Biscuits are best enjoyed warm, fresh from the oven. Serve them as is, or pair with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat. Whether for breakfast, dessert, or an afternoon snack, these biscuits are sure to please.
Tips
- Apple Variety: Granny Smith or Honeycrisp apples work well for this recipe as they hold their shape and provide a nice balance of tart and sweet flavors.
- Dough Tips: Be sure to keep the butter cold when making the biscuit dough. This ensures the biscuits will be flaky and tender once baked.
- Storage: These biscuits are best enjoyed the day they’re made, but they can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Reheat them in the oven or microwave before serving to bring back their warmth and softness.
- Extra Filling: If you have extra apple filling, it can be served alongside the biscuits as a delicious topping or used as a filling for other pastries.
Apple Pie Biscuits are the perfect fusion of two beloved desserts, offering all the comforting flavors of an apple pie in a convenient, handheld form. Enjoy these delightful treats with family and friends, and savor the warmth and sweetness they bring to your table!
