Apple Pie Biscuits combine the warmth of homemade biscuits with the sweet, spiced flavors of classic apple pie. Fluffy, golden biscuits filled with tender apples and aromatic cinnamon make for a perfect breakfast, dessert, or afternoon snack.

Ingredients

  • All-Purpose Flour: 2 cups – The main structure of the dough, giving the biscuits their soft and fluffy texture.
  • Baking Powder: 1 tablespoon – Helps the biscuits rise and become light and airy.
  • Salt: 1/2 teaspoon – Enhances the sweetness and balances the flavors.
  • Ground Cinnamon: 1 teaspoon – A key spice that brings the warmth and cozy aroma of apple pie to life.
  • Nutmeg: 1/4 teaspoon – Adds a subtle depth of flavor, perfect for pairing with the cinnamon.
  • Unsalted Butter: 1/2 cup (cold) – Chilled butter creates the flaky layers that make biscuits so irresistible.
  • Whole Milk: 1/2 cup – Helps bring the dough together, ensuring a tender crumb.
  • Apple (peeled and chopped): 1 medium – The star of the show! Choose a tart variety for a balanced flavor.
  • Sugar: 2 tablespoons – Adds sweetness to complement the apples and spices.

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Equipment: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  3. Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Cut cold butter into small cubes and add it to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Assemble the Dish: Stir in the milk until the dough just comes together. Gently fold in the chopped apples.
  5. Cook to Perfection: Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead gently a few times. Pat the dough into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Using a biscuit cutter, cut out rounds of dough and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Finishing Touches: Brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter to help them brown beautifully.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown. Let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm, with or without a dollop of whipped cream.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days.
  • To reheat, place the biscuits in the oven for a few minutes until warm.
  • Add a simple glaze of powdered sugar and milk for extra sweetness.
  • For a fun twist, serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce.
