Easy Cheddar Apple Drop Biscuits

The next best thing to soup season, is things-to-eat-with-soup season! These easy cheddar apple drop biscuits make a perfect side for any bowl of soup, or lovely just eaten out of hand with butter any time.

I love biscuits of any sort, especially next to a big bowl of warm, homemade soup. In my house, soup is often dinner and adding biscuits helps to make it hearty enough to satisfy my husband’s appetite.

These easy cheddar and apple biscuits are a favourite. They are quick to whip up and full of flavour. They are especially nice with soups like butternut squash. Of course, you don’t need to pair them with soup. They are delicious eaten out of hand with just a pat of butter. Or slice them and use them for mini sandwiches!

Cook’s Notes

Be sure to use an extra-sharp cheddar cheese and a firm, flavourful apple for best results. I didn’t have either green onion or parsley on hand when I baked up this batch of biscuits, but a bit of either finely chopped, adds nice colour.
