- 2 tablespoon purecane brown sugar (or 3 tablespoon regular brown sugar)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 2 cups regular or King Arthur Measure for Measure gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 cup honeycrisp apple, peeled and diced

Apple Pie Biscuit Recipe Instructions
- Preparation: Begin by preheating the oven to 400°F. Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Biscuit Batter: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine melted vegan butter, almond/oat milk, brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Gradually mix in the chosen flour until a dough consistency is reached. If opting for gluten-free flour and the dough feels crumbly, enrich it with an additional tablespoon each of melted vegan butter and almond milk. Carefully fold in the diced apple pieces.
- Baking: Using a tablespoon, drop a generous amount of biscuit dough onto the baking sheet, aiming for approximately 12 biscuits. Place in the oven and bake for 15 minutes, ensuring they turn golden. For an enhanced color, you can broil them for an additional 1-2 minutes.
- Vanilla Icing: As the biscuits bake, prepare the icing. In a separate small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla. If the icing appears too thick, add an extra tablespoon of milk to achieve a drizzling consistency.
- Serving: Once baked, let the biscuits cool slightly before dressing them with the vanilla icing. Alternatively, relish them plain, or with a spread of vegan butter, or even a dash of maple syrup.
Frequently Asked Questions
Cool: Ensure the biscuits have cooled completely to room temperature. This prevents them from getting soggy due to the steam they release.
Air-Tight Container: Transfer the biscuits to an air-tight container. This will help maintain their freshness and prevent them from drying out.
Room Temperature: Store the container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
Refrigerate: If you plan on keeping them for more than 2 days, it's best to refrigerate them. They can last in the fridge for up to a week.
Reheating: When you're ready to eat the biscuits, you can warm them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-10 minutes to regain some of their original texture and warmth.
Freezing: For even longer storage, you can freeze the biscuits. Individually wrap them in plastic wrap and then place them in a zip-top freezer bag. They can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months. To reheat, thaw at room temperature and then warm in the oven as mentioned above.

Apple Pie Biscuits Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium mixing bowl, mix the melted vegan butter, almond or oat milk, brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Mix in the regular or gluten free all purpose flour until a thick dough forms. When using gluten-free flour, if the dough seems crumbly, add another 1 tablespoon of melted vegan butter and 1 tablespoon of almond milk and work it into the dough. Fold in the apple pieces.
- Scoop a heaping tablespoon of biscuit dough per biscuit onto the parchment lined baking sheet. You should have about 12 biscuits. Bake in the oven for 15 minutes until they are golden. Option to broil for 1-2 minutes at the end to give them more color.
- While the apple pie vegan biscuits bake, in a small bowl. whisk the powdered sugar, almond or oat milk, and vanilla together to make the icing. If the icing is too thick to drizzle, add another 1 tablespoon of almond or oat milk. Set aside.
- Remove the vegan biscuits from the oven and allow them to cool for 1-2 minutes before drizzling them with the vegan vanilla frosting. You may also skip the frosting and enjoy them on their own or spread with a little vegan butter and/or drizzled with maple syrup!

these came out extremely well they weren’t dry at all they were perfectly crisp on the outside and softer and moist in the center I substituted sugar for maybe 2 tablespoons of monk fruit sweetener and I used pillsbury gluten free flour and Pamela’s flour (you know from that brand that makes those awesome honey graham crackers)
