Ingredients

For the Brown Sugar Biscuits:

  • 2 cups White Lily self-rising flour
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup cold butter
  • 3/4 cup cold buttermilk

For the Sautéed Apples:

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3/4 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 granny smith apples peeled and thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon heavy whipping cream
  • 1 tablespoon rum
  • ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • Whipped Cream for serving
  • Ground Cinnamon

Instructions

For the Brown Sugar Biscuits:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
  • Whisk together flour, brown sugar, and salt in a medium sized bowl and set aside.
  • Using a cheese shredded, grate butter into the bowl of dry ingredients.
  • Pour in buttermilk and gently combine.
  • Sprinkle flour on your working area or board and remove biscuit dough from bowl. Use your hands to flatten the dough and shape out to your preferred thickness of ½-3/4 inch.
  • Cut biscuit dough into circles using round cutter or back of a can.
  • Place cut biscuits onto greased cast iron skillet and bake for about 10-12 minutes or until they have risen and browned.

For the Sautéed Apples:

  • Melt butter and lemon juice in medium sized pan over low heat.
  • Whisk in sugar and turn heat up to medium heat. Watch until butter and sugar mixture begins to turn a caramel brown color which can take up to 8 minutes (make sure you do not burn!!).
  • Add in thinly sliced apples, cream, rum and vanilla extract and cook until tender over medium heat for 10-12 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool for 10 minutes until just warm.

To Assemble the Shortcakes:

  • Simply cut biscuits in half.
  • On the bottom half of each biscuit, add whipped cream and apples.
  • Sprinkle with ground cinnamon (if desired) and serve.
