The recipe for these apple biscuits is simple and easy to follow. First, you will need to gather all of the ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, butter, eggs, buttermilk, and apples. The most important ingredient for these biscuits is the fresh apples. Choose apples that are sweet but tart like Braeburn, Honeycrisp or Granny Smith.
Begin the recipe by preheating your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. In a mixing bowl, mix together the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Cut cold butter into small cubes and mix it in the flour mixture until it’s crumbly. Add the diced apple pieces into the dry ingredients and toss to combine.
Now, in a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and buttermilk. Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and fold together until it forms a sticky dough.
Flour a work surface and turn the dough out onto it. Knead the dough a few times until it comes together. Roll the dough out to about a half-inch thickness and then use a biscuit cutter to cut out the biscuits. Place them onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake the biscuits in the oven for 18-20 minutes or until they are golden brown on the outside. Take them out of the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
Now it’s time to make the caramel sauce. This is the icing on the cake that makes these apple biscuits even more delicious. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt butter and add brown sugar. Stir until the brown sugar is melted. Add the heavy cream and stir until combined. Turn up the heat and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for 3-4 minutes until it becomes thickened. Remove it from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes.
Drizzle the warm caramel sauce over the biscuits or serve it on the side. The sweet and slightly tart apples combined with the warm, buttery biscuit and caramel sauce make these breakfast biscuits a perfect treat for anyone.
Serve the rustic apple biscuits with caramel sauce for breakfast, brunch, or even as a dessert. They are also perfect for any holiday or special occasion. They can be made ahead of time and stored in the freezer, so you won’t have to worry about rushing the morning of.
