These Glazed Apple Pie Sourdough Biscuits are a delicious twist on classic biscuits! Made with sourdough discard and avocado oil shortening, they feature homemade apple pie filling folded into the dough. Each biscuit is topped with more apple pie filling and finished with a sweet maple vanilla bean glaze, making them a perfect fall-inspired treat.

Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp salted butter
  • 2 apples if choice, chopped
  • 6 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp apple pie spice (sub: additional 1/2 tsp cinnamon)
  • 2 tsp cornstarch
  • Chosen Foods Avocado Oil, for greasing the pan
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups cake flour (see homemade cake flour recipe in the notes section on my website)
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup Chosen Foods Avocado Oil Shortening, cold
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk (or 1/2 tbsp apple cider vinegar + 1/2 cup milk of choice)
  • 1/2 cup sourdough discard
  • 1/2 cup apple pie filling
  • 1/4 cup salted butter, melted, for brushing
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla bean paste or extract
  • 1-2 tbsp heavy cream

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 425F. Lightly grease a 9” or 10” round baking pan with butter; set aside.

  2. 2

    In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the chopped apples, water, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, apple pie spice, and cornstarch. Stir well.

  3. 3

    Cover and cook until the apples are soft, stirring occasionally (8-10 minutes). Remove from the heat and set aside while you prepare the biscuits.

  4. 4

    In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cake flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt.

  5. 5

    Add in the cold avocado oil shortening, and use a pastry cutter or two knives to cut the shortening into the flour mixture, until it is crumbly and the butter resembles pea-sized chunks.

  6. 6

    Make a well in the center of the mixture, and add the buttermilk, sourdough discard, and apple pie filling that was just made (reserve the rest for topping). Mix with a wooden spoon, and then use your hands to knead and fold the dough over itself a couple of times until combined. The dough will be a little sticky and should be soft enough to scoop!

  7. 7

    Use a 1/2 cup measuring cup to scoop the dough and place into the prepared pan (you will get 7-8 biscuits).

  8. 8

    Brush the tops with melted butter, then spread the rest of the apple pie filling on top.

  9. 9

    Bake at 425F for 20-25 minutes, or until fluffy and golden brown.

  10. 10

    Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.

  11. 11

    Make the maple vanilla bean glaze by whisking together the ingredients in a medium bowl.

  12. 12

    Pour the glaze all over the top of the warm biscuits.

  13. 13

    Serve warm and enjoy!
