Ingredients for Biscuits:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tbsp baking powder
• ½ tsp salt
• ¼ cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• ¾ cup buttermilk (or whole milk)
• 1 tbsp granulated sugar (optional)

For the Apple Pie Filling:

• 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work well)
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter
• ¼ cup brown sugar
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• ½ tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tsp cornstarch + 1 tbsp water (slurry, for thickening)

For the Topping:

• 2 tbsp melted butter
• 1 tbsp cinnamon sugar (mix of 1 tbsp sugar + ½ tsp cinnamon)
• Optional: Caramel drizzle or powdered sugar glaze

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Apple Pie Filling:
   • In a saucepan over medium heat, melt 2 tbsp butter and add the diced apples.
   • Stir in brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract.
   • Cook for 5-7 minutes, until apples are tender.
   • Add the cornstarch slurry, cook for another 1-2 minutes, until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
2. Make the Biscuits:
   • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
   • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar (if using).
   • Cut in cold butter using a pastry cutter or hands until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
   • Gradually add buttermilk, stirring until a dough forms (do not overmix).
3. Assemble the Apple Pie Biscuits:
   • Lightly flour a surface and roll out the dough to about ½-inch thick.
   • Cut into circles (or squares) using a biscuit cutter or knife.
   • Place a spoonful of apple pie filling in the center of half the biscuit rounds.
   • Top with another biscuit round and pinch the edges to seal.
   • Place biscuits on the baking sheet and brush the tops with melted butter.
4. Bake the Biscuits:
   • Bake for 18-22 minutes, until golden brown.
   • Remove from oven and immediately brush with more melted butter, then sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.
5. Serve & Enjoy!
   • Enjoy warm as is or drizzle with caramel or a powdered sugar glaze for extra sweetness!
