Ingredients

Scale

2 cups self-rising flour
1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2/3 to 3/4 cup cold buttermilk
4 apples, peeled, cored, and diced
3–4 tablespoons lemon juice
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 large egg, beaten
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch of salt
1/2 cup powdered sugar
3 tablespoons heavy cream

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
For fresh apple filling, melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet over medium heat.
Add diced apples, lemon juice, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
Cook until apples are tender, about 5-7 minutes. Let cool.
In a medium bowl, whisk flour and sugar.
Cut in cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add 2/3 cup buttermilk, stirring until dough forms. Add more buttermilk if needed.
Roll dough into a rectangle, about 1/2 inch thick.
Spread cooked apples over half the dough, then fold the other half over.
Cut into 12 squares and place on baking sheet.
Mix cinnamon, sugar, and salt in a small bowl.
Brush biscuits with beaten egg and sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar mixture.
Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until golden brown.
Whisk powdered sugar and heavy cream to make a glaze.
Drizzle glaze over warm biscuits before serving.

Notes

For a shortcut, use canned apple pie filling instead of fresh apples.
