Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 3/4 cup whole milk
- 3 cups tart apples (e.g., Granny Smith, peeled and sliced)

- 1/4 cup brown sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually pour in milk, stirring gently until just combined—avoid overmixing.
- In another bowl, mix apple slices with brown sugar and cinnamon; let sit for five minutes to release juices.
- Roll out the biscuit dough on a floured surface to about half an inch thick; cut into squares or circles.
- Place a spoonful of the apple mixture in the center of each biscuit cutout, fold over, and pinch edges closed.
