Ingredients
For the Biscuits:
1Cupall purpose flour
1 1/2Teaspoonsbaking powder
1/4Teaspoonsalt
1/8Teaspoonblack pepper
4Tablespoonsunsalted butterchilled and cut into 1" pieces
1/4Cupcrumbled Gorgonzola cheese
6Tablespoonsbuttermilk
For the Filling:
2Golden Delicious applespeeled and small diced
2Tablespoonsmaple syrup
2Teaspoonslemon juice
2Teaspoonsfresh thyme leaves
2Tablespoonsall purpose flour
Pinch of salt
Instructions
To make the biscuits, add the flour, baking powder, salt and pepper to a large bowl. Using a pastry cutter or fork, cut in the butter until the mixture resembles course crumbs. Add the crumbled cheese and then make a well in the center, add the buttermilk and slowly incorporate it into the dough. Form into a ball, wrap in plastic and refrigerate for at least 1/2 hour.
When the dough is ready, roll it out to about a 1/4" thickness (thinner than you would for a biscuit) and cut out 4 equal circles. You can bake these in any individual sized pan (I used a small tart pan). Drape each dough circle over your pans.
Make the filling by adding the apples, maple syrup, lemon juice, thyme, flour and salt to a bowl and mixing until combined. Place equal amounts of apple filling into each of your four pans and bake in a pre-heated 375 degree oven for 20 - 25 minutes. Serve over salad for a great lunch.
