Ingredients

Apple Buttermilk Biscuits

  • 1 7 oz. honeycrisp or granny smith apple, washed, cored, chopped small
  • 2 ¼ cup unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 stick cold unsalted butter cut into tablespoons
  • 1 cup buttermilk cold

Vanilla Glaze:

  • 1 ¼ cup + 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 3 tablespoons milk
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

To prepare the biscuits:

  • Preheat your oven to 450°F. Line the baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a small skillet over high heat, cook the apples for 3 minutes until they are softened.
  • In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda, and salt. Whisk these ingredients together until mixed well.
  • Add the cold butter to the flour mixture and use your hands, a fork, or a pastry blender to create a crumble. Make a well in the middle of this crumble and pour in the chopped apples and cold buttermilk. Once you've formed your dough, scoop out the biscuits using a ¼ cup or 2 oz cookie scoop and place them on the lined baking sheet.
  • Pop the biscuits in the oven for about 15 minutes until they are lightly golden.

To prepare the glaze:

  • While the biscuits bake, prepare the glaze by simply whisking the remaining ingredients in a medium bowl until smooth.
  • When your biscuits are done baking, drizzle them with this sweet glaze and enjoy!
