Introduction:

Apple Pie Biscuits are a cozy twist on classic apple pie — soft, flaky biscuits filled with warm, cinnamon-spiced apples and topped with a sweet glaze. They’re perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a quick fall dessert that captures the comforting flavors of homemade apple pie without the fuss!

🧈 Ingredients

For the Biscuits:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • ¾ cup cold milk or buttermilk

For the Apple Filling:

  • 2 medium apples (such as Honeycrisp or Granny Smith), peeled and diced
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch + 1 tablespoon water (optional, for thickening)

For the Glaze:

  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1–2 tablespoons milk
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract

👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Make the apple filling:
    • In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat.
    • Add diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
    • Cook for about 5–7 minutes until the apples are soft and caramelized.
    • If the mixture is too runny, stir in cornstarch slurry and cook until thickened.
    • Let cool slightly.
  4. Prepare the biscuit dough:
    • In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
    • Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingertips until it resembles coarse crumbs.
    • Pour in milk and stir until just combined (don’t overmix).
  6. Assemble:
    • Turn dough onto a floured surface and roll out to about ½-inch thick.
    • Cut out rounds using a biscuit cutter.
    • Place a spoonful of apple filling on half of the rounds, then top each with another biscuit round and press edges gently to seal.
  8. Bake:
    • Place on the prepared sheet and bake for 12–15 minutes, until golden brown.
  10. Glaze:
    • Whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
    • Drizzle over warm biscuits.
