Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
For the Apple Filling:
- 2 cups peeled cored, small diced Granny Smith apples
- 2 tablespoons of butter
- 2 tablespoons light brown sugar packed
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
For the Biscuits:
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ cup 1 stick salted butter, melted
- 2 cups of buttermilk
For the Glaze:
- 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 3 tablespoons milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F. Spray a 8X8 or 9X9 baking dish with non stick spray.
Filling Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium heat, combine apples, butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon.
- Stir constantly until the butter and sugars have melted. Bring to a simmer and simmer for 8-10 minutes, continue to stir until the apples have softened but still have some texture left to them. Take off the heat. Stir in vanilla.
Biscuit Instructions
- Add flour, baking powder, sugar, and to a medium bowl. Use a whisk to sift ingredients. Pour in the buttermilk and stir until mostly combined, being careful not to overwork the batter. Gently stir in apple mixture.
- Pour the melted butter into your baking dish and then place the dough on top of the butter and use a spatula (or your hands) to evenly spread the dough out to the edges of the pan.
- Cut the unbaked dough into 9 squares (3×3 pattern). Bake for about 15 minutes, rotate baking dish and return to oven for another 15-20 minutes. Tops should be golden brown and when you insert with a toothpick it comes out clean.
Glaze Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together powdered sugar with milk and ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract. Drizzle on top of the warm biscuits. Allow the biscuits to cool slightly then slice and serve.
