Instructions

Let’s make some delicious Apple Pie Biscuits!

1. Preheat the Oven:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.

2. Prepare the Apples:

Peel, core, and chop the apples into small bite-sized pieces. In a bowl, toss the chopped apples with cinnamon, nutmeg, and a bit of sugar (about 2 tablespoons). Set aside to let the flavors meld.

3. Make the Biscuit Dough:

In a large bowl, combine the Bisquick mix and the remaining sugar. Cut the cold butter into small cubes and add it to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

4. Add the Milk:

Pour in the milk and stir until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix. You want it to be soft and a bit shaggy but still hold together.

5. Add the Apples:

Gently fold the cinnamon-coated apples into the biscuit dough. Try not to break up the apples too much—those sweet apple chunks are what make this biscuit so special.

6. Shape the Biscuits:

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it down into a rectangle or square about 1-inch thick. Use a biscuit cutter or a sharp knife to cut out biscuits, making sure to press straight down without twisting to keep them fluffy.

7. Bake:

Place the biscuits onto your prepared baking sheet. If you want extra golden biscuits, brush the tops with a bit of egg wash (beaten egg with a little water or milk). Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until they’re golden brown and puffed up.

8. Cool and Serve:

Let the Apple Pie Biscuits cool for a few minutes before serving. They’re delicious on their own, but you can drizzle a little icing or sprinkle some powdered sugar on top for extra sweetness.

How to Serve Apple Pie Biscuits

• For Breakfast: Serve with a cup of coffee or hot tea for a comforting, cozy morning.
• As a Dessert: Pair them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for a sweet treat.
• With a Drizzle: Drizzle with a simple glaze made from powdered sugar and milk for a sweet, shiny finish.
• As a Snack: Grab one for a quick afternoon snack—perfect for when you need something a little sweet but not too heavy.

Additional Tips

• Use Your Favorite Apple: While tart apples like Granny Smith work great, you can experiment with any apples you have on hand. Sweet apples like Fuji or Gala will also work well—just reduce the sugar a bit.
• Make Them Mini: Want a bite-sized version? Simply use a smaller biscuit cutter and bake for slightly less time.
• Add a Streusel Topping: If you’re feeling extra indulgent, top your biscuits with a simple streusel made from butter, sugar, and flour before baking for an extra touch of sweetness and crunch.
• No Bisquick? You can make your own biscuit mix by combining 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and 1/2 cup of cold butter.
