Equipment
- 1 mixing bowl
- 1 rolling pin
- 1 baking sheet
- 1 parchment paper
- 1 oven
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter Cold and cubed.
- ¾ cup whole milk
- 1 cup apples, peeled, cored, and diced (about 2 medium apples)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- ¼ cup brown sugar (for glaze)
- 1 tablespoon milk (for glaze)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar. Mix well.
- Add the cold, cubed butter into the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Pour in the whole milk gradually and stir until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
- In a separate bowl, combine the diced apples, ground cinnamon, and lemon juice. Stir until the apples are well coated.
- On a floured surface, roll out the dough to about ½ inch thick. Cut the dough into squares or circles using a knife or biscuit cutter.
- Place a spoonful of the apple mixture in the center of each dough piece, then fold the dough over to create a pocket. Seal the edges by crimping with a fork.
- Arrange the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet. For added sweetness, mix the brown sugar and milk to create a glaze and brush it over the top of each biscuit.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and rising.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.
