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, 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
 

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
