Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 0.75 cups milk
- 1 large apple (peeled, cored, and finely chopped)
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 large egg (optional, for brushing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon.
Add the cold, cubed butter into the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to combine until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add the finely chopped apple into the dry mixture and toss to distribute evenly.
Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the milk. Stir gently with a wooden spoon or your hands until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky.
Lightly flour a clean work surface and turn the dough out onto it. Pat the dough into a 1/2-inch thick rectangle.
Use a biscuit cutter or a glass dipped in flour to cut out the biscuits. Re-roll the scraps as needed and cut out more biscuits.
Place the biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between them.
If desired, beat one egg and brush it over the tops of the biscuits for a shiny, golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
Remove the biscuits from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving warm.
