Kitchen Equipment Needed

• Mixing bowl
• Small saucepan
• Baking sheet
• Parchment paper
• Rolling pin
• Pastry brush

Ingredients

For the Biscuits:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tbsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 3/4 cup whole milk

For the Apple Filling:

• 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter
• 2 tbsp brown sugar
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp nutmeg
• 1/4 cup water

For the Topping:

• 2 tbsp melted butter
• 1 tbsp granulated sugar
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon

Directions

1. Prepare the Apple Filling: In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and water. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the apples soften and the mixture thickens, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
2. Make the Biscuit Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually stir in the milk until a dough forms.
3. Assemble the Biscuits: On a floured surface, roll out the dough into a rectangle about 1/2-inch thick. Spread the cooled apple filling evenly over the dough. Roll the dough up tightly, starting from a long edge. Slice into 1-inch rounds.
4. Bake the Biscuits: Place the rounds on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown.
5. Add Topping: While the biscuits are still warm, brush with melted butter and sprinkle with the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
6. Serve: Let cool slightly and enjoy warm!

Expert Tips

FAQs

Can I use store-bought biscuit dough? Yes, for a quicker version, pre-made biscuit dough works well.
What other fruits can I use? Pears or peaches make excellent substitutes for apples.
Can I make these ahead of time? Yes, assemble the biscuits, cover, and refrigerate overnight before baking.

Storing & Reheating

• Refrigerator: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
• Reheating: Warm in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for 5-7 minutes, or microwave for 20-30 seconds.

Substitutions & Variations

• Spices: Add a pinch of allspice or ginger for extra warmth.
• Glaze Option: Drizzle with a simple powdered sugar glaze instead of the cinnamon-sugar topping.
