4 apples (use good, tart baking apples) |
1/2 cup sugar |
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon |
2 tablespoons butter |
2 cups flour |
3 teaspoons baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
4 tablespoons butter |
3/4 cup milk |
Directions:
1. For the biscuits: Sift dry ingredients together.
2. Add butter, working it in with a fork or dough blender.
3. Add milk to make a soft dough.
4. Place on a floured board and toss lightly until the outer surface looks smooth.
5. Roll out 1/2 inch thick.
6. Pare and slice apples; arrange them in a well-greased shallow baking dish.
7. Sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon; dot with butter.
8. Cover with biscuit dough and cut several gashes to allow steam to escape.
