- 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.
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!
