Tips
-
Flaky biscuits: Keep butter cold and handle dough gently.
-
Apple variety: Granny Smith apples hold shape well; Honeycrisp or Fuji add sweetness.
-
Make ahead: Assemble biscuits and refrigerate 30 minutes before baking to help them hold shape.
-
Extra indulgent: Drizzle with a simple glaze made of powdered sugar and milk.
