Ingredients
For the Biscuit Dough

1 tbsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/3 cup cold unsalted butter (cubed)
3/4 cup milk or heavy cream
For the Apple Filling
2 medium apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled and diced
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1 tbsp unsalted butter
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp lemon juice
Optional Toppings
Powdered sugar for dusting
Caramel drizzle

Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Apple Filling
- In a saucepan over medium heat, melt 1 tbsp butter.
- Add the diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Stir well.
- Cook for 5-7 minutes until the apples soften and the mixture becomes syrupy.
- Remove from heat, stir in the vanilla extract, and let the filling cool.
Step 2: Make the Biscuit Dough
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Cut in the cold butter with a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Slowly add milk, stirring gently until the dough comes together (don’t overmix).
Step 3: Assemble the Biscuits
- Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/2-inch thickness.
- Use a biscuit cutter or glass to cut rounds from the dough.
- Place a spoonful of the apple filling in the center of half the rounds.
- Top with another round of dough and press the edges to seal.
Step 4: Bake
- Place the assembled biscuits on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly.
Step 5: Add Finishing Touches
- Dust the biscuits with powdered sugar, drizzle with caramel, or serve with whipped cream/ice cream for an extra-special treat.
