Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup diced apples
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- ¾ cup milk
Supporting Ingredients:
- ¼ cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Seasoning:
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Crank your oven to a scorching 425F and grab a sturdy baking sheet.
- Combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar in a spacious mixing bowl, creating a dry ingredient foundation.
- Slice the cold butter into tiny cubes and work them into the dry mix using your fingertips until the texture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
- Pour in ¾ cup milk and stir gently until the dough just comes together, avoiding overmixing.
- Toss the diced apples with 1 teaspoon cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon nutmeg, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice in a separate small bowl.
- Fold the spiced apple mixture into the dough, distributing the fruit evenly throughout.
- Dust your countertop with a light layer of flour and transfer the dough onto the surface.
- Softly knead the dough 2-3 times to help it hold together, then roll it out to a 1-inch thickness.
- Use a round cookie cutter to punch out biscuit shapes, pressing straight down without twisting.
- Arrange the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a small gap between each one.
- Slide the sheet into the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes until the tops turn golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let the biscuits rest for 5 minutes before serving warm.
Notes
- Freeze butter before cutting to ensure extra flaky biscuits with perfect texture.
- Use a sharp biscuit cutter and press straight down without twisting to help biscuits rise evenly.
- Choose firm baking apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for the best flavor and structure in your biscuits.
- For a gluten-free version, swap regular flour with a cup-for-cup gluten-free baking blend and add an extra tablespoon of milk to maintain moisture.
