Apple Drop Biscuits

These biscuits are the perfect addition to your day. Whether your apple biscuits are part of a meal or used as a snack, the apple drop biscuits are undeniably a family favorite. You can make them sweet or savory. We love this versatile recipe and so will you.

Why do they call them drop biscuits?

The dough for these biscuits is dropped by spoonfuls onto the baking sheet instead of being rolled out and cut into shapes. This makes them quick and easy to make, which is great when you’re short on time or want to whip up a batch with little effort.

How to Store Drop Biscuits

You can store the apple biscuits at room temperature or in the refrigerator. Place the biscuits in an airtight container. They will last for 2 days at room temperature and 5 days in the refrigerator.

What if I don’t have buttermilk?

Unless you have buttermilk on hand and use it often, you might not want to buy it, especially since you don’t need much of it. You can make your own buttermilk and get the same effect as the store bought.

Take 1 cup of milk and mix it with 1 tablespoon of vinegar. If you don’t want to use vinegar, you can also use 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. You will need to give it a minute to combine and sour the milk. This mixture creates buttermilk. While true buttermilk is better when possible, this version will give you the same result.

Making perfect apple drop biscuits

These biscuits are perfect so you want to make sure that you are getting the best drop biscuits each time.

Measure the flour– It is important to measure the flour correctly. The measuring cup should be leveled across the top. Using too much flour will make the biscuits crumble.

Dicing the apples– We dice the apples but you can also shred the apples if you prefer. To shred, use either a hand held grater or a food processor.

Variations to Apple Drop Biscuits 

Use a cast iron. We use a baking sheet to make the apple drop biscuits, but you can also use a cast iron skillet. Grease the skillet with 2 tablespoons of butter and then drop the dough into the skillet before placing it in the oven.

Make them sweet. You can make these a dessert or even a breakfast style of biscuit by adding cinnamon and sugar to the dough. You can also make a cinnamon sugar glaze, or even a cream cream style glaze to go over the apple drop biscuits.

Make them savory. You can add onion powder and grated cheddar to make these drop biscuits have a savory flare to them. The apple and the cheddar play off each other and create an amazing side dish.  

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 ½ cups, peeled and diced Envy™ Apple (1 large Envy™ apple or 2 small Envy™ Apples)
• 1 Tbsp Baking Powder
• ½ cup (1 stick) cold salted butter, diced
• 1 tsp kosher salt
• 1 cup buttermilk (or 1 cup milk + 1 Tbs vinegar)

How to Make Apple Drop Biscuits

Preheat the oven to 425F.

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and salt.

Add diced cold butter and cut into the dry ingredients with a fork until the consistency is like small peas or coarse meal.

Stir in peeled, diced Envy™ Apple.

Add 1 cup buttermilk and stir until combined. Batter will be very lumpy. Do not over-mix.

Drop large mounds onto a parchment-lined baking sheet (2oz scoop / approximately ¼ cup each mound).

Bake at 425F for 18-22 minutes until golden brown.

Brush with melted butter, if desired.
