Ingredients
For the Biscuits:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup cold butter, cubed
- 3/4 cup buttermilk
For the Apple Filling:
- 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and chopped
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon butter
For the Glaze:
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Steps to Make Apple Pie Biscuits
- Prepare the Apple Filling:
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir and cook for about 5-7 minutes, until the apples are tender and caramelized. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Make the Biscuit Dough:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
- Cut in the cold butter with a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Pour in the buttermilk and stir until just combined. The dough will be sticky.
- Assemble the Biscuits:
- 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-inch thickness. Using a round biscuit cutter or a glass, cut out circles from the dough.
- Fill and Bake:
- Place half of the biscuit rounds on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spoon a small amount of the apple filling onto each round, then top with another biscuit round to form a sandwich.
- Press the edges gently to seal, then bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown.
- Glaze the Biscuits:
- While the biscuits are cooling, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract to create a smooth glaze.
- Drizzle the glaze over the warm biscuits before serving.
