Ingredients  

For the Apples

  • 1 tbsp Unsalted Butter
  • 1 1/2 cups Apples, Peeled & Finely Diced
  • 2 tbsp Light Brown Sugar
  • 1 tsp Ground Cinnamon

For the Biscuits

  • 2 1/2 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 3 tbsp Granulated Sugar
  • 1 tbsp Baking Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
  • 3/4 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Ground Cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter, Frozen
  • 1 cup Full Fat Cottage Cheese
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 2-4 tbsp Cold Milk

For the Glaze

  • 1 1/2 cups Powdered Sugar
  • 3 tbsp Milk
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract

Equipment

  • blender
  • box grater

Instructions 

  • Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced apples, brown sugar and cinnamon and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring often, until the apples are just tender and the juices turn syrupy. Spread them on a plate and refrigerate until completely cold, about 15 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Blend the cottage cheese and vanilla until completely smooth and refrigerate until needed.
  • Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon in a large bowl. Grate the frozen butter into the flour on the large holes of a box grater and toss to coat.
  • Add the cold apples and toss them through the flour mixture. Pour in the blended cottage cheese and stir with a fork until a shaggy dough forms, adding milk 1 tablespoon at a time only if dry flour remains.
  • Turn the dough onto a floured surface and pat it into an 8-inch square about 1 inch thick. Cut it into 9 squares with a bench scraper and place them 2 inches apart on the baking sheet.
  • Bake for 16-19 minutes, until deep golden and the apples are caramelized at the edges. Let the biscuits cool for 5 minutes.
  • Whisk the powdered sugar, milk and vanilla into a smooth, pourable glaze. Dip the tops of the warm biscuits into the glaze or spoon it over them, and let it set for 10 minutes before serving.
