Apple Pie Biscuits

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 3/4 cup whole milk
• 2 cups peeled and diced apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon melted butter (for brushing)
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (for sprinkling)
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for sprinkling)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Apple Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Gently mix with a spoon until the apples are evenly coated. Allow the mixture to sit for about 10-15 minutes while you prepare the biscuit dough.
2. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
3. Make the Biscuit Dough: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until fully blended. Add the cold, cubed butter and work it into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Add the Milk: Pour the milk into the flour mixture. Stir gently with a spoon until the dough just comes together.
5. Roll Out the Dough: Turn the dough onto a floured surface. Gently knead it a few times, then roll the dough into a rectangle about 1/2-inch thick.
6. Fill the Biscuits: Cut the dough into squares or circles, place a tablespoon of the prepared apple filling in the center of each, fold over, and pinch to seal.
7. Brush and Sprinkle: Place the filled biscuits on the baking sheet, brush the tops with melted butter, and sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon.
8. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
9. Cool and Serve: Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack for a few minutes. Serve warm.
