Prep Time 15 minutes

Cook Time 20 minutes

Total Time 35 minutes

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
• 3/4 cup buttermilk
• 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon water
• 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (optional, for topping)

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the Apple Filling: In a small saucepan, combine the diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Cook over medium heat until the apples are tender, about 5 minutes. Mix the cornstarch with water, then stir it into the apple mixture. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat and let cool.
3. Make the Biscuit Dough: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the cold butter and cut it into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or your fingers until it resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add the buttermilk and stir until the dough comes together.
4. Roll Out the Dough: Turn the dough onto a floured surface and roll it into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
5. Fill and Fold: Spread the cooled apple filling evenly over half of the dough. Fold the other half of the dough over the filling and press gently to seal the edges.
6. Cut the Biscuits: Use a biscuit cutter or knife to cut the dough into 8 equal pieces. Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet.
7. Brush and Sprinkle: Brush the tops of the biscuits with the beaten egg and sprinkle with granulated sugar if desired.
8. Bake: Bake for 18-20 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown.
9. Serve: Allow the biscuits to cool slightly before serving warm.

Notes

• Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. They can be reheated in the oven or microwave.
• Customizations: Add chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts for extra texture. You can also drizzle with caramel sauce for a sweeter finish.
• Make-Ahead Tip: Prepare the apple filling in advance and refrigerate until ready to use.
