Ingredients
For the Biscuits:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- ¾ cup buttermilk
For the Apple Filling:
- 2 apples, peeled, cored, and diced
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ½ tsp nutmeg (optional)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
For the Glaze:
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 tbsp milk
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
-
Prepare the Apple Filling: In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the apples are soft and caramelized. Stir in vanilla extract and let the mixture cool.
-
Make the Biscuit Dough: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add buttermilk, stirring until the dough comes together.
-
Assemble the Biscuits: Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a ½-inch thick rectangle. Spread the apple filling evenly over half of the dough, then fold the other half over the apples. Gently press down and cut the dough into biscuit-sized squares or rounds.
-
Bake: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the biscuits on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 15-18 minutes until golden brown.
