Step 3: Assemble the Apple Pie Biscuits
- Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it 2–3 times to bring it together.
- Roll the dough into a rectangle about ½ inch thick.
- Spoon small amounts (about 1–2 teaspoons) of apple filling along the center of each rectangle.
- Fold the dough over the apples and press the edges gently to seal. You can shape them into triangles, rectangles, or simple half-moon pockets.
Step 4: Bake to Golden Perfection
- Place the filled biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between them.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes or until golden brown on top.
- Optional: While the biscuits are still warm, brush with melted butter and sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar for a sweet, shiny finish.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
- Let the biscuits cool slightly before serving—they’re best enjoyed warm, straight from the oven.
- These biscuits pair beautifully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce for an indulgent treat.
Tips for Success
- Butter Matters: Cold butter creates flaky layers, so don’t let it soften too much before mixing.
- Apple Size: Small, evenly diced apples cook evenly inside the biscuits.
- Flavor Boost: Add a pinch of ginger or allspice to the filling for extra warmth.
- Make Ahead: You can prepare the biscuits ahead and freeze them raw. Bake directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
Conclusion:
Apple Pie Biscuits are a delightful fusion of a classic dessert and a cozy breakfast treat. With a buttery, flaky exterior and a warm, cinnamon-spiced apple center, they capture the essence of apple pie in every bite—without the fuss of a full pie. Perfect for busy mornings, tea time, or simply indulging your sweet tooth!
