### Apple Pie Biscuits Recipe

 

**Ingredients:**

 

#### For the Biscuit Dough:

– 2 cups all-purpose flour

– 2 tablespoons granulated sugar

– 1 tablespoon baking powder

– ½ teaspoon baking soda

– ½ teaspoon salt

– ½ cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed

– ¾ cup buttermilk, cold

– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

 

#### For the Apple Filling:

– 2 medium apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work well), peeled, cored, and finely chopped

– 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

– ¼ cup brown sugar, packed

– 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

– ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg

– 1 tablespoon lemon juice

 

#### For the Topping:

– 2 tablespoons melted butter

– 2 tablespoons granulated sugar

– 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

 

**Instructions:**

 

1. **Prepare the Apple Filling:**

– In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice.

– Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5-7 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the mixture is thickened.

– Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.

 

2. **Prepare the Biscuit Dough:**

– Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

– In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

– Cut in the cold, cubed butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

– Stir in the buttermilk and vanilla extract until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix.

– Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently pat it into a rectangle about ½-inch thick.

 

3. **Assemble the Biscuits:**

– Spread the cooled apple filling evenly over the dough.

– Fold the dough over the apple filling (like folding a letter) and gently press it down to seal the edges.

– Use a biscuit cutter or a knife to cut the dough into squares or rounds, depending on your preference.

– Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet.

 

4. **Bake the Biscuits:**

– Brush the tops of the biscuits with the melted butter.

– In a small bowl, mix together the sugar and cinnamon, then sprinkle it over the tops of the biscuits.

– Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.

 

5. **Serve:**

– Allow the biscuits to cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving.

– Enjoy them warm on their own or with a drizzle of caramel sauce or a dollop of whipped cream.
