Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat Your Oven

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

2. Prepare the Biscuit Dough

• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
• Cut in the butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
• Gradually add the milk, stirring until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix.

3. Make the Apple Filling

• In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter.
• Add the diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
• Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are tender and coated in a caramel-like sauce. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

4. Assemble the Biscuits

• Roll out the biscuit dough on a floured surface to about ½-inch thickness.
• Use a round cutter to cut out biscuits.
• Place half of the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet. Spoon a small amount of apple filling onto each.
• Top with another biscuit and press the edges gently to seal.

5. Bake the Biscuits

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

6. Prepare the Glaze

• In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.

7. Glaze and Serve

• Drizzle the glaze over the warm biscuits.
• Serve immediately and enjoy the comforting flavors of apple pie in biscuit form!

Tips for the Best Apple Pie Biscuits

• Choose the Right Apples: Use firm, tart apples like Granny Smith for the best flavor and texture.
• Keep the Butter Cold: Cold butter creates flaky, tender biscuits.
• Don’t Overmix the Dough: Overworking the dough can make the biscuits dense.
• Experiment with Spices: Add a pinch of cloves or allspice for extra warmth.
