Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and lightly grease a 9 x 13-inch pan. Add 2 pounds sliced granny smith apples to the bottom.
In a medium-sized saucepan, add ⅓ cup packed brown sugar, ½ cup apple juice, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1 tablespoon lemon Juice, and 1 tablespoon cornstarch. Bring to a boil and reduce heat, and let simmer until it starts to thicken, about 2 minutes. Pour over apples and toss.
To make the biscuit topping:
In a food processor add 1 ¼ cup all-purpose flour, 1 cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 10 tablespoons cold butter. Pulse until the butter has incorporated. Add to a medium-sized bowl. Add ¾ cup milk and combine. Drop on top of the apple mixture.
To make the topping:
Combine 1 tablespoon granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon and sprinkle on top of the biscuits. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
