1 tablespoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
¼ cup cold butter, cubed
¾ cup milk

👩🍳 Instructions
Preheat the oven:
Set oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Prepare the biscuits:
In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in milk just until dough comes together.
Prepare the apple filling:
In a small bowl, toss diced apples with sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice.
Assemble the biscuits:
Roll out dough on a floured surface to about ½-inch thickness. Cut into circles using a biscuit cutter. Place a spoonful of apple filling in the center of half the circles, then top with the remaining dough circles. Press edges to seal.
Bake:
Arrange on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown.
Optional glaze:
Whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla. Drizzle over warm biscuits before serving.
