- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
For the Glaze:
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk

Instructions
- Preheat Your Oven:
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. - Prepare the Biscuit Dough:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the cold butter and cut it into the dry ingredients using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add the milk, stirring until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
- Make the Apple Filling:
- Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat.
- 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.
- Assemble the Biscuits:
- Roll out the biscuit dough on a lightly 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.
- Bake the Biscuits:
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and fluffy. - Prepare the Glaze:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
