Ingredients
  

  • 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough 8-count
  • Tip: Any brand of flaky, buttery biscuits works wonderfully.
  • 2 medium Granny Smith apples peeled, cored, and chopped into small pieces
  • Pro tip: Granny Smith apples add a nice tartness, but Honeycrisp or Gala apples work well too!
  • ¼ cup packed brown sugar
  • Light brown sugar is ideal, providing the perfect level of sweetness.
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • This cozy spice really captures the essence of traditional apple pie.
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Just a hint enhances flavor beautifully!
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • Unsalted butter allows you to control the overall saltiness of your biscuits.
  • Pinch of ground nutmeg optional
  • Adds a lovely warmth, but feel free to skip if you prefer.
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice optional
  • A squeeze of lemon juice brightens the apples and balances sweetness.

Instructions
 

Step 1: Preheat and Prep

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Place parchment paper on a baking tray or apply a thin layer of grease to prevent the biscuits from adhering. This small step makes cleanup much easier!

Step 2: Prepare the Apple Filling

  • Combine the diced Granny Smith apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract, optional nutmeg, and lemon juice in a bowl and stir well.
  • Set aside briefly—this allows flavors to meld beautifully while you prepare the biscuits.

Step 3: Shape the Biscuits

  • Gently pull apart the refrigerated biscuit dough into single biscuit portions.
  • Press each biscuit softly with your fingers or a rolling pin to form a circle approximately 4 inches in diameter. Don’t worry about perfect shapes; rustic looks delicious too!

Step 4: Fill and Seal

  • Place roughly 1 tablespoon of the apple filling in the middle of each biscuit circle.
  • (Tip: Avoid overfilling, so they seal easily and bake evenly.)
  • Gently fold the dough around the filling, pinching the edges securely to seal, creating a small pouch or turnover shape. Make sure each biscuit is sealed tightly to avoid leaks during baking.

Step 5: Butter and Bake

  • Lightly coat the tops with melted butter to achieve a beautiful golden-brown color.
  • Position the biscuits on the prepared pan, keeping a 2-inch distance between each to ensure consistent baking results.
  • Bake in your preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until they turn beautifully golden brown and the aroma fills your kitchen.

Step 6: Cool Slightly and Serve

  • Once baked, remove from the oven and let cool for about 5 minutes—just enough to handle comfortably.
  • Enjoy these delightful biscuits warm, perhaps topped with a drizzle of caramel sauce or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent dessert!
