APPLE FRITTER BUTTER SWIM BISCUITS

If you are a fan of butter swim biscuits, you must try this apple fritter version!

If you love butter swim-style biscuits, you will definitely want to try our Cinnamon Sugar Swim Biscuits. They are easy and a fantastic way to start the day.

❤️WHY WE LOVE THIS RECIPE

We love apples and biscuits, and this version is delicious. If you have been following our website for any amount of time, you know we love biscuits and have over 40 biscuit recipes. We are new to butter swim biscuits and decided to try an apple version. These turned out really well, and they are great with a cup of coffee.

🥄SWAPS AND MORE

We use Granny Smith Apples, but any will work. These are more moist biscuits since they are swimming in butter; a canned pie filling won’t work. You will need to make the apple mixture. You don’t need a biscuit cutter for these biscuits, you melt the butter in a dish and add the dough. It’s such a unique and easy way to make biscuits.

We use buttermilk with these biscuits because we think buttermilk is always the best ingredient in biscuits. After looking at other recipes, you can use heavy cream if you like.

🫙STORE LEFTOVERS

We store these in an airtight container and reheat them in the oven or microwave. They will keep for 3-4 days. You can freeze these biscuits. They will keep for about 3 months.

⭐TIP

We add a glaze to these biscuits! If you don’t want the added sweetness, you can leave it off, but we loved it. Also, the edges of these biscuits will get a little crispy, which we thought was really good. If you don’t like that, you can always tent the baking dish with foil.

These Apple Fritter Butter Swim Biscuits are a great way to start the day. Made in an 8X8 and perfect for breakfast or brunch.

For the Apple Filling:

• 2 cups peeled cored, small diced Granny Smith apples
• 2 tablespoons of butter
• 2 tablespoons light brown sugar packed
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

For the Biscuits:

• 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• ¼ cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• ½ cup 1 stick salted butter, melted
• 2 cups of buttermilk

For the Glaze:

• 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 3 tablespoons milk

Filling Instructions

• In a large skillet over medium heat, combine apples, butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon.

• Stir constantly until the butter and sugars have melted. Bring to a simmer and simmer for 8-10 minutes, continue to stir until the apples have softened but still have some texture left to them. Take off the heat. Stir in vanilla.

Biscuit Instructions

• Add flour, baking powder, sugar, and to a medium bowl. Use a whisk to sift ingredients. Pour in the buttermilk and stir until mostly combined, being careful not to overwork the batter.

• Pour the melted butter into your baking dish and then place the dough on top of the butter and use a spatula (or your hands) to evenly spread the dough out to the edges of the pan.

• Cut the unbaked dough into 9 squares (3×3 pattern). Bake for about 15 minutes, rotate baking dish and return to oven for another 15-20 minutes. Tops should be golden brown and when you insert with a toothpick it comes out clean.
