Servings: 12
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted in a skillet
- 2 medium apples peeled, cored, and chopped into fine cubes
- 1 tablespoon white sugar granulated
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg optional for depth
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon ground
- ½ cup icing sugar sifted for glaze
- 1 –2 tablespoons milk added to glaze as needed for consistency
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon water optional thickener
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract incorporated into glaze
- 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
- 1 can 16.3 oz of pre-packaged flaky biscuit dough (8 count)
Instructions
Prepare the Apple Mixture
- Warm the butter in a skillet set over medium heat. Once melted, add the diced apples, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir well to combine. Allow the mixture to cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the fruit softens and the mixture becomes syrupy.
- If the mixture appears overly liquid, stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
Assemble the Biscuits
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper. Divide the biscuit dough into eight portions and gently press each into a flat circular shape.
- Place 1 to 2 tablespoons of the prepared apple mixture into the center of each biscuit round. Carefully fold the dough edges over the filling, pinching the seams closed to seal. Position the filled biscuits seam-side down on the prepared tray.
Bake
- Transfer the tray to the preheated oven and bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden and puffed. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool slightly.
Prepare the Glaze
- In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and pourable.
Finish and Serve
- Drizzle the glaze generously over the warm biscuits. Serve immediately for best flavor and texture.
Notes
For a thicker glaze, use less milk; for a lighter drizzle, add more. These biscuits are best enjoyed warm but can be reheated gently if prepared in advance.
