Instructions

1. Make the apple filling:

   • In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat.

   • Add diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

   • Cook 5–7 minutes until apples are soft and syrupy.

   • If mixture seems thin, stir in cornstarch slurry and cook 1 more minute until thickened.

   • Remove from heat and cool slightly.

2. Make the biscuit dough:

   • In a large bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.

   • Cut in cold butter with a pastry cutter or fork until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

   • Add buttermilk and stir just until dough comes together.

   • Turn onto a floured surface and gently pat to about ¾-inch thick.

3. Assemble:

   • Option 1 (Drop Style): Spoon biscuits onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, top each with a spoonful of apple filling.

   • Option 2 (Filled Biscuits): Cut out rounds, spoon a bit of apple filling in the center, place another round on top, and pinch edges lightly to seal.

4. Bake:

   • Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 12–15 minutes or until golden brown.

5. Glaze:

   • Whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla.

   • Drizzle over warm biscuits.
