  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 8 biscuits 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon (divided)
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 ½ cups apple pie filling, chopped finely
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • Optional: powdered sugar and milk for glaze

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease a cast iron skillet.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon.
  3. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture is crumbly.
  4. Stir in the heavy cream just until combined, then fold in the chopped apple pie filling.
  5. Using a large spoon or scoop, drop mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheet or skillet.
  6. Mix the brown sugar and remaining 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, then sprinkle generously over each biscuit.
  7. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes until the tops are golden brown and crisp.
  8. Optional: Mix powdered sugar with a splash of milk to create a glaze and drizzle over warm biscuits before serving.

Notes

  • Keep butter and cream very cold for best flakiness.
  • Don’t overmix the dough to maintain a tender texture.
  • Use store-bought or homemade apple pie filling based on preference.
  • Serve warm with glaze, butter, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
