These easy cheddar apple biscuits make a perfect side for any bowl of soup or are lovely just eaten out of hand with butter any time.
These easy cheddar and apple biscuits are a favourite, especially in the Fall when apples on top of mind.. They are quick to whip up and full of flavour. They are also super easy, as these are drop biscuits, so no rolling and cutting required!

Biscuits are really the best! I’ve never tried cheddar and apple together but I’m sure the flavor is amazing. I will be making tons of soups in December and January (they are literally like the soup months) so I’m looking forward to whipping these up!
Thanks Linda. I think you will love this combination. It’s subtle but oh so lovely together.
Jennifer, your blog has quickly become my absolute favorite since I recently discovered it on accident. I get giddy with delight when I see you in my inbox! :) My husband is the biscuit lover but I believe I may be the one in love with this recipe. Who doesn’t love savory and sweet?

Stay warm, y’all. Our Thanksgiving will be in the 70’s!
Thanks so much, Lori :) Enjoy the biscuits and have a wonderful Thanksgiving. I’m totally jealous of your 70’s weather. We’re topping out in the 30’s around here these days.
Totally with you. The biscuits that actually go WITH the soup are the best! Love this apple + cheddar combo!
Thanks Katrina. These were such tasty little treats and we enjoyed them a pot of roasted Butternut soup!
These are perfectly wonderful Jennifer! Apple and cheddar – so perfect and you are right – with a bowl of soup or just because you passed through the kitchen. Thank you for this lovely recipe. Hope you are well and staying warm!
Thanks Tricia. Trying to stay warm here but the snow is hampering those plans (makes me cold just looking at it :) Feeling better every day though, which is good!
