Ingredients
- 2 cups biscuit mix
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 cups sliced apples
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons butter
Instructions
- Preheat your cast-iron skillet or oven-safe skillet to 425°F (218°C). Ensure the skillet is well-seasoned or lightly greased with cooking spray.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine biscuit mix and milk. Stir until a soft dough forms, being careful not to overmix.
- In a separate bowl, toss sliced apples with sugar and cinnamon until evenly coated. Mix gently to prevent breaking the apple slices.
- Melt butter in the preheated skillet, swirling to coat the bottom and sides evenly.
- Spread the apple mixture across the bottom of the skillet in an even layer.
- Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough directly onto the apple mixture, covering most of the surface but leaving some spaces for the apples to peek through.
- Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and the apples are tender.
- Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Serve warm, optionally topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Tips
- Use a well-seasoned cast-iron skillet for the best flavor and even cooking.
- Don't overmix the biscuit dough - this keeps the biscuits tender and fluffy.
- Choose firm, slightly tart apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for the best texture and flavor contrast.
- Make sure your skillet is evenly coated with butter to prevent sticking and create a beautiful golden crust.
- Let the skillet biscuits rest for 5 minutes after baking to allow the flavors to meld and the dish to set slightly.
- For extra indulgence, serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
- If you don't have biscuit mix, you can substitute with self-rising flour and a bit of shortening.
