Pro Tips for Perfect Apple Pie Biscuits:

1. Keep the Butter Cold: Cold butter ensures flaky, tender biscuits. Work quickly to prevent the butter from melting into the dough.
2. Don’t Overwork the Dough: Overkneading can result in dense biscuits, so mix just until the dough comes together.
3. Even Apple Pieces: Chop the apples finely to ensure they cook evenly inside the biscuits.
4. Rolling the Dough: Roll the dough tightly when spreading the apple filling to keep the layers intact.
5. Serve Warm: These biscuits are best served fresh and warm from the oven.
