Recipe steps
Prepare the dough
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and cinnamon. Add the softened butter and milk. Mix until you get a smooth dough.
Knead and roll out
Generously flour your work surface and knead the dough for one minute. Roll it out to about 1 cm (½ inch) thickness. Cut out circles using a cookie cutter or an upside-down glass.
Prepare the apples
Peel the apples and cut them into small cubes. Set aside a few pieces for the final decoration.
Assemble the biscuits
Take a dough disc and flatten it slightly. Place a few apple pieces in the center, sprinkle with a little cinnamon sugar, then cover with a second dough disc. Pinch the edges well to seal. Sprinkle the top with a bit more cinnamon sugar.
Bake
Place the biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 13 to 15 minutes, until they’re lightly golden. Let them cool for a few minutes on a wire rack.
Serve
Top with a few apple pieces, sprinkle with a final touch of cinnamon sugar, and drizzle generously with maple syrup or honey.
Tips and variations
- For the apples, go for Granny Smith if you want a tart kick, or use Golden or Gala apples, which are a bit sweeter but just as delicious.
- For an extra indulgent twist, add some caramel chips or raisins to the filling.
- Serve them warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a truly decadent dessert.
Anti-waste tips
Don’t throw away your apple peels!
Here are some ideas:
- Dry them in the oven at low temperature for crispy apple chips
- Steep them in hot water with a cinnamon stick for a cozy herbal tea
- Add them to your compost to nourish your garden
