I used Granny Smith apples in these great tasting apple cinnamon
biscuits. Make these and warm them in the microwave for an amazing
morning treat.
These biscuits are perfect for the fall season, and they're a welcome
treat for any time of the year. Make them for holiday guests or to serve
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Heat the oven to 425F. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar,
baking powder, salt, nutmeg, and 1 1/2 teaspoons of cinnamon. With a
pastry blender or fingers, work in the butter pieces until the
mixture resembles fine crumbs. Stir in the finely chopped apples.
Combine the buttermilk and 1 teaspoon of vanilla; stir into the first
mixture until all ingredients are moistened. Depending on moisture
from the apples, a little more buttermilk or flour might be necessary.
Turn out onto a floured surface and knead a few times, just until a
soft cohesive dough has formed. Pat into a circle about 3/4" thick
and cut out with 2" biscuit cutters.
Arrange on the prepared baking sheet. If desired, brush tops with
cream or milk and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar mixture. Bake for 12
to 14 minutes, until lightly browned. Cool on racks.
Combine the confectioners' sugar and butter; add the vanilla. Beat in
the hot water. a few teaspoons at a time, until the mixture is a good
consistency for drizzling. Drizzle over the cooled biscuits.
Serve biscuits cool or warm slightly just before serving.
Makes about 12 to 14 small biscuits.
