These bite-sized pastries combine the flakiness of buttery biscuit dough with a sweet and spiced cinnamon apple filling, making them an irresistible choice for breakfast or dessert.
Ingredients
Scale:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
3/4 cup milk
2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and finely chopped
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Granulated sugar (for sprinkling on top)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Toss until well-coated.
In a large bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar. Add the chilled butter and mix until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Pour in the milk and stir gently until just combined.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead a few times until it comes together. Roll out to 1/2 inch thickness.
Use a biscuit cutter or glass to cut out circles. Gather scraps, re-roll, and cut more circles.
Place half of the dough circles on the baking sheet. Spoon a generous amount of the filling onto each circle. Top with remaining circles, pressing edges to seal.
Brush the tops with the beaten egg and sprinkle with granulated sugar.
