- 1/2 cup milk Can substitute with sour cream for richness.
For the Apple Filling

- 1 teaspoon cinnamon Enhances the flavor.
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg For added warmth.
- 1/4 cup brown sugar

Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar.
- Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in the milk until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead gently, just enough to bring the dough together. Roll it out to about 1/2 inch thickness, then cut into rounds using a biscuit cutter.
Apple Filling
- In another bowl, toss the diced apples with the cinnamon, nutmeg, brown sugar, and lemon juice until they are well coated.
Assembly and Baking
- Place half of the biscuit rounds on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Top each with a generous spoonful of the apple mixture, then place another biscuit round on top to form a sandwich.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and fragrant.
- Let cool slightly before serving, and enjoy them warm with a side of whipped cream or ice cream, if desired.
Notes
Make sure to use cold butter for a flaky texture. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
