Apple Crisp Biscuit Cups Recipes

BISCUITS WITH APPLE CRISP JAM

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Core and peel the apples, then cut them each in half and each half into thin slices. Put them in a bowl with the molasses, cinnamon, ginger, lemon zest and juice, 1 tablespoon brown sugar and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Toss to blend.
• Combine the flour, nutmeg, remaining brown sugar and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt in another bowl. Add cubed butter and break it up with your fingers, integrating the flour with the butter.
• Grease the bottom and sides of a shallow rectangular 6-by-12-inch baking dish with the remaining tablespoon butter. Layer the apples in the dish evenly with the flour mixture. Place the dish in the center of the oven and bake until the apples are tender when pierced with the tip of a knife, 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool.
• Break up Cream Biscuits into large chunks. Layer into a bowl or large jar, so that layers of fruit, topping and biscuits are stacked on top one another.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Sift together the flour, baking powder, granulated sugar and salt in a large bowl. Add the cream to the dry ingredients. Use your hands to mix the dough, taking care that all ingredients are well blended. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and pat down with floured hands until it is about 1-inch thick. (If the outside edges start to show cracks, cup the outer edge with your hands and push the dough towards its own center.)
• Lightly flour a knife (to avoid sticking as you cut) and slice the dough into 1 1/2-inch squares. Reflour the knife each time you make a cut.
• Arrange the biscuits with some distance between each on a nonstick baking sheet or one lined with a sheet of parchment. Bake until they start to brown lightly, 15 to 18 minutes.

APPLE CRISP CUPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 4 12-cup mini-muffin tins.
• Mix apples, water, white sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon together in a saucepan, and bring to a simmer over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally. Simmer until apples are partially cooked, about 5 minutes; remove from heat.
• Combine flour, oats, brown sugar, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and nutmeg in a large bowl; cut the butter into the flour mixture with a pastry cutter until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs. Place a heaping tablespoon of the crust mixture into a mini muffin cup, and press it into the cup so that it covers the bottom and pushes up the sides of the cup. Make the crust go all the way to the top of the little muffin cup, and patch any holes with more crust mixture. There will be crust mixture left over. Place about 2 teaspoons of apple filling in the crust. Sprinkle about 1 teaspoon of the remaining crust mixture on the filling.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.

APPLE CRISP

Steps:

• Put all the topping ingredients and a pinch of sea salt in a bowl and rub together with your fingers until combined into a crumb-like texture - this can also be done in a food processor. Chill until needed. Will keep chilled for up to two days.
• Toss the apples with the sugar and lemon zest and juice until evenly coated, and tip into a 23cm round baking dish that's at least 5cm deep, or a 20cm square dish. Flatten down with your hand and scatter over the topping. Will keep covered and chilled for a day.
• Heat the oven to 190C/170C fan/ gas 5. Sit the crisp on a baking tray and bake for 40 mins until the topping is a deep golden and the fruit is bubbling at the edges. Leave to cool for 10 mins, then serve with ice cream or custard.
