Apple Pie Biscuits

Instructions

1. Prepare the Apple Filling

  1. In a skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tbsp butter (if using).
  2. Add the diced apples, sugar, and cinnamon.
  3. Cook for 3–5 minutes until the apples are slightly softened. Remove from heat and let cool.

2. Make the Biscuit Dough

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Cut in cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Stir in milk until just combined—don’t overmix.

3. Assemble the Biscuits

  1. Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and roll out to about ½-inch thickness.
  2. Cut biscuits using a round cutter.
  3. Place a spoonful of apple filling in the center of half of the biscuits.
  4. Top with the remaining biscuits and gently press edges to seal.

4. Bake

  • Place biscuits on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Optional: Brush tops with a little milk or melted butter and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.
  • Bake for 12–15 minutes, until golden brown.

5. Serve

  • Serve warm, optionally with a drizzle of glaze or a dusting of powdered sugar.

Tips:

  • You can use pie apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for a firm, slightly tart filling.
  • For a faster version, you can use pre-made biscuit dough and just add the apple-cinnamon mixture inside.
  • These biscuits are best eaten the same day but can be stored in an airtight container for 1–2 days.

If you want, I can also give a 5-minute apple pie biscuit mug cake version for a single-serving treat when you just need one quick dessert.

Do you want me to share that quick mug version?
