With tender apples and a tender base, these apple biscuits are perfect for Autumn when apples are at their best! Served with cups of tea or apple cider, these make a wonderful afterschool treat for your kids or a dessert after dinner.
To make these apple biscuits, sliced apples are tossed with lemon juice, sugar, and cinnamon. Then, you make a cookie dough with flour, baking powder, sugar, cinnamon, eggs, and oil until combined. After that, the dough gets divided into separate portions that are topped with sliced apples before being baked.
What are Apple Biscuits?
These apple biscuits are large oval cookies that are topped with sliced apples. They have a slightly crisp texture and golden edges that pairs beautifully with the sweet apple.
Pro Tips
- Tossing the apples with lemon juice will prevent them from browning and keep their color bright.
- Choose apples that will hold their shape during baking such as cortlands, macintosh, spartan, or pink lady.
- If you don’t have vanilla sugar, you can replace it with regular sugar and a teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- Weigh each portion of dough to ensure that the biscuits are equal in size.
