Apple Drop Biscuits
Apple Drop Biscuits are tender, flavorful treats with shredded apple and warm spices, perfect for breakfast or a cozy snack, appealing to fruit and biscuit lovers alike.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Shred the small peeled apple into bits.
- Mix together Bisquick, sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a bowl.
- Pour apple juice into a separate bowl.
- Add the Bisquick mixture and shredded apples to the apple juice.
- Stir until the mixture is wet and batter is lumpy.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter biscuit, consider substituting half of the apple juice with unsweetened applesauce. If you're looking for a twist, try adding chopped walnuts or raisins to the batter. Ensure not to overmix; a lumpy batter yields a fluffier biscuit. If using a different brand of baking mix, adjust the liquid as needed to achieve the right consistency.
Serving Suggestions
These Apple Drop Biscuits make a delightful breakfast treat and pair beautifully with a side of yogurt or a fresh fruit salad. They can also serve as a sweet addition to a brunch spread, alongside dishes like Cowboy Pinto Beans. Consider drizzling with honey or maple syrup for extra flavor.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. If you want to keep them longer, freeze them in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer bag. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes until warmed through.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of juice instead of apple juice?
Yes, you can substitute apple juice with other fruit juices like orange or cranberry for a different flavor profile. Just keep in mind that the taste of the biscuits will change accordingly, and you may want to adjust the sweetness based on the juice used.
Is there a way to make these biscuits vegan?
Absolutely! To make these biscuits vegan, replace the apple juice with a non-dairy milk of your choice and ensure your Bisquick mix is vegan-friendly. You can also add a bit of flaxseed meal mixed with water as a binder if desired, although the recipe works well with just the apple juice.
How can I make these biscuits more flavorful?
To enhance the flavor of your biscuits, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract or almond extract to the wet ingredients. Incorporating additional spices such as ginger or cloves can also elevate the taste. For a unique twist, try mixing in a tablespoon of lemon zest for brightness.
