Few things evoke the warmth of home like the aroma of fresh-baked apples paired with buttery, flaky biscuits. Apple Pie Biscuits capture that comforting essence perfectly, combining the tender layers of a biscuit with the sweet, spiced flavor of apple pie filling. Whether you’re serving them for breakfast, brunch, or a cozy dessert, these biscuits are sure to delight. Here’s a step-by-step guide to making them from scratch.

Ingredients

For the Biscuits:

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
3/4 cup buttermilk

For the Apple Filling:

2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and finely chopped
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)

For the Topping:

2 tablespoons melted butter
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Step-by-Step Method

Step 1: Prepare the Apple Filling

In a small saucepan, combine the chopped apples, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice.
Cook over medium heat for 5–7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the apples start to soften.
If you prefer a thicker filling, sprinkle in the cornstarch and stir until the mixture thickens slightly.
Remove from heat and let it cool while you prepare the biscuits.
