Apple Cheddar Biscuits

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 6 tablespoons cold butter, cut into small cubes
• 1 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
• 2/3 cup milk
• 1 large apple, peeled and diced

Directions

1. Heat your oven to 425°F.
2. In a medium bowl, add the diced apple, milk, cheddar cheese, butter cubes, salt, and baking powder. Stir everything together until the pieces are nicely spread through the bowl.
3. Scatter in the flour and stir only until the dough comes together. This is not the moment to show off your mixing muscles.
4. Tip the dough onto a lightly floured surface, then knead it gently for 1-2 minutes.
5. Roll or pat the dough until it is about 1/2 inch thick, then cut it into whatever biscuit shapes you like with a biscuit cutter or a knife. Set the biscuits on an ungreased baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch between them.
6. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until the tops are golden brown and the centers are baked through.
7. Enjoy them.
